      Her Highness Sheikha Asma Al Thani of the Qatari royal family has just made history.
      On May 27, 2022, Sheikha Asma became the first Qatari woman to scale the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest.
      Sharing the moment she made history on Instagram, Sheikha Asma encouraged everyone to “dream big” and to not give up.
      “Don’t be shy to dream big,” she captioned the post. “Once you do, you have a commitment to do everything you can to make it happen.
      “It has taught me that no matter the struggle, what you want and how much you want it matters.”

      The Mount Everest expedition was made as a part of a huge Al Rihla – or journey – ahead of the FIFA 2022 World Cup, set to take place in Qatar, making it the first Arab nation to host the sporting event.
      Sheikha Asma is no stranger to adventure. As a trailblazer in the world of sport, the royal has previously scaled several peaks including Mount Aconcagua in South America which stands at 6,959 metres above sea level and Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa which reaches 5,895 metres.
      By breaking the mould, she continues to be an advocate of female empowerment in the region.

      Hermès has unveiled its brand new store in Qatar’s capital city, Doha.
      The expansive space spreads across 600 square metres and is set in the heart of a luxe new shopping destination, Place Vendôme. Conceptualized by the architecture agency RDAI, this tastefully designed space is created with immaculate attention to detail.
      Embodying a Parisian flair, the interiors exude unmistakable elegance with shades of amber and earthy tones, with double-height windows for that exquisite finesse. As a contemporary expression of architectural vocabulary, the space evokes a certain calmness through its subtle features such as travertine walls and warm touches.

      The lavish store also delves into the region’s history as the space is inspired by the rock carvings of Al Jassasiya.
      With separate areas around the store dedicated purely to the silk collections, perfume and beauty, watches and jewellery and leather goods, there’s a story in every section giving each section its individual identity.
      To infuse certain elements of nature, the store leads to a private oasis of flora for that much-needed escape. From earthenware vases by artist Julian Stair to a winged horse by sculptor Christian Renonciat, each design aspect is carefully considered to exude the house’s codes.
      For a bespoke experience, guests can feel at home at the luxe VIP salons to choose and try their pieces at ease.
      To celebrate the launch, the American artist duo CHIAOZZA, Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao have painted a surrealistic jungle sculpture, ensuring an enticing welcome for all guests.

      By adding to the physical shopping experience, customers can now discover the new store and visit from Monday to Wednesday 9am to 10pm, Thursday to Saturday 9am to 12am and Sunday 9am to 10pm. Located on the ground floor of the mall’s south side, the new Hermès Doha store celebrates its rich history and artistic vision.
