Meet Your New Favourite Resort Campaign
This summer, Doha's fashion narrative takes a bold detour, charting a course from the Gulf to the glittering coasts of the Mediterranean, courtesy of Cruise L'Azur, the latest campaign by Printemps Doha. The Middle East's most expansive luxury department store has long been a hub for style and sophistication, but this season it elevates its vision further, blurring the lines between resortwear fantasy and runway realism.
Nestled in the architectural Doha Oasis, Printemps Doha curates a breathtaking homage to Riviera glamour. Through its Cruise l'Azur campaign, guests are invited to enter a world where sea-kissed textures, sunlit palettes, and effortless silhouettes define the mood. From immersive in-store moments to a fashion-forward soirée with Harper's Bazaar Qatar, the campaign is as experiential as it is aspirational.
Mediterranean Elegance Redefined
Among the standout brands featured are Missoni, whose signature zigzag knits shimmer like waves in motion; capturing the campaign's relaxed, retro-luxe essence. The brand's swim and resortwear pieces, elegant yet playful, anchor the narrative with a sun-drenched sensibility.
Complementing this are free-spirited creations from the likes of Taller Marmo, whose silhouettes and playful feathers bring a dose of high octane glam to evening wear. For those leaning towards refined minimalism, La Double J offers relaxed tailoring and soft neutrals that feel simultaneously urban and coastal, perfect for a yacht-bound power lunch or a seaside sunset affair.
Meanwhile, Rosantica adds sculptural accessories and unexpected statement pieces that whisper of Capri escapes and St. Tropez soirées. It's this thoughtful mix of ethereal and editorial that cements Cruise l'Azur as more than a themed offering. It is a curated, wearable fantasy.
A Coastal Reverie in Doha
The campaign was launched with a bespoke runway show, hosted with Harper's Bazaar Qatar. Guests were given a boarding pass on arrival, offering them a one-way ticket to the Riviera, against a backdrop of striking visuals, live DJ sets, and Doha's most stylish in attendance.
The magic continued with an after-party at Twiga, Doha Oasis' upscale dining hotspot, where Doha's elite mingled after show. It was an evening that merged fashion, food, and fête in the most exquisite way.
'Cruise l'Azur wasn't just a campaign, it was a celebration of our vision,' said Anna Fontaine, General Manager of Printemps Doha. 'Our collaboration with Harper's Bazaar Qatar brought together style, culture, and community in a way that truly reflected the summer spirit. The success of the event speaks to the appetite in Doha for experiences that go beyond retail, experiences that inspire.'
With over 600 brands, including 200 exclusives to Qatar, Printemps Doha continues to redefine luxury as something immersive, emotional, and entirely modern.

Dubai Metro: RTA adds new signs across all stations
New signs have come up across all Dubai Metro stations. Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with Keolis–MHI, designed this plan to make commuters journeys easier on the Metro and Tram. Hassan Al Mutawa, Director of Rail Operations at RTA's Rail Agency, said, 'The Rail Agency's technical teams implemented a comprehensive plan to modernise wayfinding signage across all stations on the Red and Green lines. As part of this plan, around 9,000 wayfinding signs were installed and replaced, requiring approximately 11,000 workhours.' Al Mutawa explained, 'The project included upgrading entry and exit signage and installing new signs at station entrances and exits, with exit signs now highlighted in bright yellow boxes to improve visibility. It also introduced clearer platform directional indicators and floor stickers to guide passengers towards the correct train lines, thereby improving passenger flow.' 'Recognising the importance of etiquette and public behaviour, various behavioural messages were introduced through stickers displayed across stations and waiting areas. These messages encourage passengers to observe proper etiquette when using public transport, contributing to a more comfortable journey.' He added, 'Out of RTA's keenness to ensure the comfort of Women and Children Cabin users as well as Gold Class passengers, and to reduce unauthorised use of these cabins, prominent signage was installed. The previous floor markings were replaced with clear pink and gold boards labelled 'Women and Children Cabin' and 'Gold Class Cabin' to make them easier to identify.' To ensure consistency and harmony across all guidance channels, both visual and audio, these updates were also reflected in RTA's smart systems, mobile applications, train audio announcements, platform announcements, and social media channels.

Saudis constitute 24 percent of the total pilgrims, reaching 15,222,497, who performed Umrah during this period. Among these pilgrims males represented 60.5 percent while women accounted for 39.5 percent. The GASTAT bulletin showed that Umrah pilgrims arriving from abroad reached 6,523,630, an increase of 10.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2024. Of the foreign pilgrims, 82.2 percent arrived by air. The number of domestic pilgrims stood at 8,698,867, of whom non-Saudis made up 58 percent. The bulletin showed that January 2025 recorded the highest number of Umrah pilgrims from abroad, reaching 36.5 percent of the total, while March saw the lowest. The number of domestic pilgrims peaked in March at 80.9 percent, with January being the lowest. The figures showed that the total number of visitors to Madinah reached 6,452,696 during the first quarter of 2025, including 4,412,689 visitors from abroad. The GASTAT releases statistical figures with regard to the number of pilgrims coming from within the Kingdom and outside to perform Umrah and visit the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah on a quarterly basis since 2024. The figures are mainly based on field surveys and administrative data from the Pilgrim Experience Program and the Ministry of Tourism, in addition to approved statistical sources. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced on July 31 that more than 1.2 million pilgrims had entered Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah from 109 countries around the world during the two-week period since the start of the new Umrah Season on June 11 until July 25. The ministry explained at the time that the recent period witnessed a 30 percent increase in the number of pilgrims entering the country with an Umrah visa, compared to the same period last year, and a 27 percent increase in the number of Umrah visas issued. In addition, more than 4,200 contracts were signed between Umrah companies and external agents, enhancing the operational readiness of the system to receive pilgrims. The launching of the Nusuk Umrah service by Ministry of Hajj and Umrah on Wednesday will be a further boost in the arrival of foreign pilgrims. This service will enable foreign pilgrims to directly apply for an Umrah visa and book services online without intermediaries. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette. All Rights Reserved.
