You could try the call centre to see if they are able to help, but maybe its a revenue protection issue - stopovers inhibited on routes involving regional flights to prevent folk doing what you want to do on (relatively) cheap fares. QR enjoys milking its regional routes. JED DOH return in J is around SAR10K.
