It had been a while since I had left without Audrey and\/or the kids! At the end of November 2022, I received an invitation to participate in a new Electronic Music Festival in Saudi Arabia (MDL Beast SoundStorm<\/a>) and decided to combine this with a stop in Qatar for the Football World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And to accompany me on part of this trip, one of my oldest friends, Jerome, – we’ve known each other since we were 3 years old – jumped at the chance. He too is a fan of electronic music<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For this Middle East tour, we left from Nice (NCE) to Riyadh (RUH), choosing our flights appropriately to offer us a free 23:30 stopover in Istanbul (IST). To (re)-discover this beautiful city and try a new hotel.<\/p>\n

After 6 nights in Riyadh<\/a>, I went alone to Doha (DOH) in Qatar to attend a World Cup match between Portugal and Switzerland (and what a match!). And take the opportunity to discover Doha and the Qatar Airways<\/a> QSuite<\/a> experience twice: between Riyadh and Doha on Airbus A350 and between Doha and Montreal on Boeing 777.<\/p>\n

Back in Montreal, it was time for the company Christmas party with all my colleagues from Milesopedia (only Marie-Claude and Audrey were missing, both in France):<\/p>\n

Then it was time to launch our new partnership with Op\u00e9ration Enfant Soleil<\/a>! I then returned to Nice in order to be in time to celebrate the end of year holidays with my family.<\/p>\n
