Qatar Airways is sharing its Eid al-Adha festivities with passengers onboard and at its global premium lounges from June 28 until Saturday (July 1). Marking the end of the Haj pilgrimage and the start of Eid al-Adha holiday, Qatar Airways will welcome Premium passengers onboard with celebratory beverages, and invite them to explore a bespoke à la carte menu that feature lentil soup, Middle Eastern spiced prawns and a special local dish prepared by Chef Aisha al-Tamimi.
