i have flee on gulf more than once, don't have any experience with quatar though. gulf is pretty good, i must say. the food especially is awesome. you'll get to chose between chicken and lamb if you are a vegeterian :). plus the air hostesses are pretty good looking and friendly as well. i like the arabic dress they wear and with a hat (?) on, they look gorgeous/sexy :P. so yeah, time just flies by :P. of course at/after baharain, you'll be accompanied by our fellow nepalese from the middle east. although i don't have any sour experience as such, once there was this nepali gentleman who wanted to drink more than the quota which a passenger is allowed to, so he was having a minor brawl with the hostess. hehe...that was kinda funny. all in all, worth an experience!
