I'm flying the same route (CAI-DOH-LHR) 9 days later. It will really rub salt into the wounds if they try and charge you QAR40 to use a lounge at DOH (as reported on another thread) because your onward journey is in business, not first.
Isn't your best bet to contact QR and downgrade the entire journey to business class (still keeping the 'first' CAI-DOH)? You're right about price: a one-way CAI-DOH-LHR in business is circa EGP5k, the same trip in first is circa EGP12k.
What's really annoying is that I specifically 'cleared the decks', from a schedule point of view, to enable my wife and I to experience F on an A388.
By the way - welcome to FlyerTalk.
