Neat: that would give me a cheap option to nest an award ticket back to Europe after being in Asia. Time to go see if the AA RTW desk see it that way too.
Yes - you can stopover in Doha
The rule 3.2.3 does not have the words "transfer without stopover", which is what the rules 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 have
So in fact, if you have the spare segments, in addition to stopping over in DOH you can stopover elsewhere in the Middle East zone - for example AMM, CAI, KRT
Same thing in the Europe zone
You are just restricted by the allowed 4 flight segments in the continent of Europe/Middle East and the 3.2.3 rule that you cannot have a segment between the two zones
