The Pearl Â? QatarDespite still being a work in progress, The Pearl is already a
staggering feat of human engineering, and one of Doha's hottest new
tourist areas. An artificial island located in the West Bay and
spanning more than 985 acres (400 hectares), The Pearl is intended
to be a world-class luxury accommodation and beach resort
destination in Qatar. Once complete, The Pearl would have created
over 20 miles (32km) of new coastline - and of this, 12 miles
(19km) has been ear-marked for the creation of pristine sandy
beaches. Expatriate businesspeople in Doha will be interested to
know that The Pearl will be the first land available for freehold
ownership by foreign nationals, as its developers look to foster a
lavish, secure Riviera-style community on the man-made island.
Although only one phase of the residential development has been
complete, The Pearl already boasts 3,000 permanent residents - and
has become a massively popular shopping and dining area for
well-heeled travellers and Qatari |
