Day plans

What the days hold around the bookings above. Nothing here is ticked off.

Wed 9 Sep

Brisbane

  1. 22:10

    QR899 departs Brisbane

    Seat 2J. Fourteen and a half hours.

Thu 10 Sep

Doha

Museums stay open until 21:00 on Thursdays, the only late opening of your stay.

  1. 05:40

    Land at Hamad International

    A named driver in arrivals removes every decision.

  2. 06:15

    Driver collects you

    Raffles sits in Lusail, 30 km north. You reach the hotel around 07:00.

  3. 07:00

    Shower, breakfast, short sleep

    Your body clock reads early afternoon Brisbane time. Set an alarm for 13:00.

  4. 14:00

    Swim at the Aqua Urban Deck

    The infinity edge frames the Gulf and the skyline.

  5. 16:00

    National Museum of Qatar

    Jean Nouvel built it from interlocking discs modelled on the desert rose, and late afternoon light separates the planes. Shoot the exterior first. Some galleries stay closed for maintenance through December 2026.

  6. 18:30

    Souq Waqif

    Ten minutes south. Walk the lanes as the light drops. Find the falcon souq and the gold souq.

  7. 20:00

    Dinner at Alba, or Parisa at the souq

    Parisa serves Persian food in a mirrored room that justifies the trip on its own.

  8. 22:30

    Sleep

    This locks your clock to Doha time and sets up Brussels.

Fri 11 Sep

Doha

The Qatari weekend. Prayers fall around 11:30, museums open at 13:30, and retail stays shut until early afternoon.

  1. 05:30

    Khor Al Adaid, the inland sea

    An hour south to Sealine, deflate the tyres, then cross the dunes to the water. Dawn gives long shadows raking across the dune faces. Back by 11:00. The alternative is the spa, the pool and the Malaki Lounge, which is defensible after a fourteen hour flight.

  2. 13:30

    Museum of Islamic Art

    I.M. Pei designed it at 91, taking the geometry from the ablution fountain at Ibn Tulun in Cairo. Two hours minimum. Photograph the atrium through the oculus, the stairwell, and the arched north window framing West Bay.

  3. 16:00

    MIA Park

    Richard Serra's steel sculpture 7 rises from the point with the West Bay towers directly behind it.

  4. 17:30

    Corniche, walking north

    The crescent runs seven kilometres. Do the first two, which carry the best skyline angles, then take a taxi.

  5. 19:00

    Shay Al Shomous, Souq Waqif

    Shamsa cooks Qatari home food in a small room and takes cash only.

Sat 12 Sep

Doha

Everything opens at 09:00. Your full day, and the car waits between stops.

  1. 09:00

    Qatar National Library

    Rem Koolhaas folded a single vast plane into shelving and sank the heritage collection into an excavated marble pit. Entry is free. The interior rewards a wide lens more than any other room in Doha.

  2. 11:00

    Msheireb Museums

    Four restored courtyard houses. Bin Jelmood House confronts the Indian Ocean slave trade and Qatar's part in it directly. Entry is free.

  3. 13:00

    Lunch at Jiwan

    On the roof of the National Museum.

  4. 15:00

    Back to the hotel, and pack

    Through the worst of the heat.

  5. 17:30

    Lusail Marina Promenade and Al Maha Island

    From the waterfront you can frame the whole of Katara Towers, and the crossed-scimitar form only resolves from a distance.

  6. 18:45

    Blue hour on Katara Towers

    The facade lighting comes up while the sky still holds colour, giving you roughly twenty minutes where both balance. The single best photograph available from your hotel.

  7. 20:00

    Dinner at Nobu or Morimoto

    Early night. You leave before six.

Sun 13 Sep

Doha to Brussels

  1. 05:45

    Car to Hamad International

    Blacklane Business Class.

  2. 06:30

    Check in and clear security

    Business class check-in runs from the west end of the departures hall.

  3. 06:45

    Al Mourjan Business Lounge

    The Garden lounge wraps around a full-height fig tree and photographs better than the North lounge. Eat properly. Photograph the Lamp Bear, The Orchard, and the vaulted roof over the central spine on the way through.

  4. 07:50

    Board QR193

    Seven hours, landing in Brussels at 14:40.

Mon 14 – Wed 16 Sep

Brussels

  1. PS Heroes Journey Summit

    Summit days.

Thu 17 Sep

Brussels to Barcelona

  1. 15:15

    Car to Zaventem

    The session releases you at 15:00. About 25 minutes outside peak, and up to 45 in it, so this puts you at the airport by 16:00 without hurrying.

  2. 18:30

    Fly to Barcelona

    About 2h05 with no time change, landing around 20:30. Collect your bag in Brussels, since it will not through-check. Later options run 20:55 and 21:35.

  3. 21:00

    Car to Passeig de Gracia

    About 20 minutes from El Prat. Book it before you fly rather than at the kerb.

Fri 18 Sep

Barcelona

Gaudi day, built around the light. Dress code is enforced: shoulders covered, nothing above mid-thigh.

  1. Casa Batllo or La Pedrera

    Morning. Walking distance from Passeig de Gracia.

  2. 17:00

    Sagrada Familia, tower first

    The red, orange and gold windows on the Passion side ignite from about 17:00 until closing. Do the tower first, then give the nave the last two hours. The lift takes you up, and the descent is roughly 400 steps. Towers shut 30 minutes before the basilica.

  3. 20:00

    Placa de Gaudi

    The floodlights come up while the sky still holds blue, around 20:35 to 21:00, and they run Thursday to Sunday. The pond on the Nativity side gives you the reflection shot. Free, and no ticket needed. The basilica finished the exterior of the Tower of Jesus Christ in July 2026, so the skyline you shoot is new this year.

Sat 19 Sep

Barcelona

Your open day. Pick one option rather than chasing all three.

  1. Park Guell and Gracia

    The mosaic terrace and the serpentine bench, then down into Gracia for lunch in the squares. Timed entry, booked ahead.

  2. Gothic Quarter and El Born

    The cathedral, the medieval lanes, Santa Maria del Mar and the Picasso Museum. All walkable, all shaded.

  3. Montjuic

    The Fundacio Joan Miro, the Olympic ring, and the view back over the city and port. Take the cable car up.

Sun 20 Sep

Barcelona to Brisbane

  1. 06:45

    Car to El Prat

    Roughly 20 minutes from the Eixample.

  2. 07:15

    Check in for QR138

    Separate ticket from your Brussels flight, so your bag checks in fresh here.

  3. 09:15

    Depart

    Doha at 16:40, QR898 at 20:25, and Brisbane on Monday at 17:30.
