The lure of luxury: Qatar Airways Group Chief Retail and Hospitality Officer Thabet Musleh guides The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie through Hamad International Airport’s extraordinary new luxury zone in Episode 3

QATAR/INTERNATIONAL. Moodie Davitt STUDIO* today proudly unveils Episode 3 of Airport Wonders of the World, a new film series dedicated as the name suggests to the greatest gateways on the planet.

The inaugural production, a three-part series of short films dedicated to Hamad International Airport in Doha and Qatar Duty Free’s retail, dining, hospitality and leisure attractions, has been launched in phases over recent weeks.

The series portrays the Doha gateway as a destination in itself.

Episode 3, titled Hamad International Airport – A Shopper’s Paradise, portrays a retail wonderland.

It showcases in highly cinematic style Qatar Duty Free’s Skytrax- and Frontier Award-winning shopping line-up, including an in-store interview with Thabet Musleh, the dynamic and visionary Qatar Airways Group Chief Retail and Hospitality Officer.

The superbly curated retail offer incorporates the most extensive array of luxury boutiques in the airport world; an acclaimed beauty offer; and a range of world-premiere and Qatar Duty Free exclusives.

The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie said: “We are so proud not only of this concluding episode but also the whole Airport Wonders of the World series, which we believe breaks new ground in the airport media landscape.

“Hamad International Airport and Qatar Duty Free offer such rich human and commercial storytelling material, something we have endeavoured to articulate in words and deeply evocative footage. Reaction to date has been hugely positive and we thank Thabet Musleh and his team for their belief in the project and for letting us tell this remarkable story to the world.”

Musleh said: “We are delighted to have been the first airport chosen to be featured in this exciting new concept by Moodie Davitt STUDIO.

“While there are undoubtedly many good airports out there, ours possess a sense of magic that sets us apart. Martin Moodie’s passion for airports and his captivating storytelling have beautifully captured our essence, showcasing what makes us unique.” ✈

**“What does it take to be named the world’s best airport for shopping?” asks Martin Moodie. Watch Episode 3 to discover Thabet Musleh’s answer.**
