This designated space offers playrooms for children, a buffet section with pastries and fruits, showers, and semi-private rooms furnished with chairs, leather couches, and a TV, which are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The only drawback is that the rooms do not have doors. Luckily, upon arrival, we were promptly assigned to one of these rooms.

I ordered a glass of rose champagne, a seared wagyu carpaccio, and chocolate ice cream. While the wagyu was juicy and tender, it lacked the exquisite \u201cmelt-in-your-mouth\u201d sensation of A5 Kobe beef from Japan. The service was attentive without being overly intrusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-id=\"353565\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-12.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Qatar Airways\u2019 Al Safwa First Lounge in Doha - Al Safwa Lounge Zhuofan 12\" class=\"wp-image-353565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-12-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-12-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-12-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-id=\"353567\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-13.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Qatar Airways\u2019 Al Safwa First Lounge in Doha - Al Safwa Lounge Zhuofan 13\" class=\"wp-image-353567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-13.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-13-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-13-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-13-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-id=\"353569\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-14.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Qatar Airways\u2019 Al Safwa First Lounge in Doha - Al Safwa Lounge Zhuofan 14\" class=\"wp-image-353569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-14.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-14-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-14-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-14-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" data-id=\"353563\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-11.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Qatar Airways\u2019 Al Safwa First Lounge in Doha - Al Safwa Lounge Zhuofan 11\" class=\"wp-image-353563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-11-338x450.jpg 338w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-11-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-11-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-11-576x768.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-id=\"353555\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-07.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Qatar Airways\u2019 Al Safwa First Lounge in Doha - Al Safwa Lounge Zhuofan 07\" class=\"wp-image-353555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-07.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-07-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-07-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Al-Safwa-Lounge-Zhuofan-07-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For breakfast, I opted for a green smoothie, eggs benedict and a fruit platter.

Throughout my time there, it was always peaceful and quiet, never crowded or noisy. Along with all the artwork, it felt like I was in a museum. The lofty ceilings, sleek and minimalistic design, expansive layout and sophisticated ambiance were all incredibly impressive, setting it apart from all the other lounges I\u2019ve visited before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also really appreciated the dedicated space for families. Unlike some other premium lounges that offer only a single playroom for kids, Al Safwa\u2019s family area offers 4 different playrooms, a buffet, shower rooms and semi-private rooms where families can sleep and relax without worrying about disturbing other passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\"
