But having recently endured 6:30 and 10+ hour layovers in Al Safwa out of necessity, I was going mad of boredom not even halfway through. So thinking of 15 hrs would surely see me fit to be tied.
My other half demanded that next time we fly direct - hopefully she will have forgotten by then, and connections are available at more palatable durations
Edit to add: Great pictures and narration,
rosenkavalier - it is an enjoyable read!
Thanks!
for me it was just the right amount of time as it was my first Al Safwa experience and I guess the novelty of it all kept me entertained. Between the spa, restaurant and hotel room, it was not much of an issue to spend the night there. Hope for you that your girlfriend will have forgotten by the next time you fly through DOH! 🤣
