Nice tune, though it's little borring. You should modify the patterns a bit, to make it less boring. That's all. Nice sound ;-)

I don't think it's boring at all, you do so much with your melodies and sounds, there's something new every 15 seconds 
Nice refreshing oldskool vibe, and contemporary arabic influences. 
I've now listened to it 5 times and I like the track even better every time I listen to it, yeehaa!!
The sounds are well chosen and perfectly layered frequency-wise, none of the sounds get in eachothers way, and it all sounds very fresh
The intro may be a bit more dramatic IMO, with a slower buildup, and don't put in the rave stab straight away.
What do bothers me a bit is the absence of the punch that the track needs. It all sounds so soft and tender, you'd better call the track 'Puppy Love' instead of 'Direction of Doom' 
You have to rally up your compressors to fix this!! That'll basically get the track up on its feet, but you have to be careful not to overdo it.
The rave stab would benefit a lot by compressing the hell out of it, use a short release time and tweak the attack until it comes punching up right in your face. The other saw synth leads would improve as well with some compression.
Don't bother about compressing the bass, but do compress the whole mix a bit and beef up the low end of the kick to drive the compression of the entire mix, making sure you only compress a couple of dBs on the kick and snare, and listen if the hihats etc are not affected too much by it.
BTW I'm kidding about the puppy love

Like it.
Drums are good
Sounds are good
Melodies are good
But as chronic said: wait with the hoover a bit longer and work on the punch in the track, it could indeed be a lot more powerfull.
