The Pearl Island in Doha, Qatar, is a man-made island, spanning approximately 4 square kilometers, built on a former pearl diving site.
Since ancient times, Qatar has been famous for its pearling banks with its seabed and warm shallow waters, conditions favorable to the growth of pearl-bearing oysters and the creation of the finest pearls found anywhere in the world.
The Pearl is a modern district with a great choice of sports, entertainment and shopping venues to explore. Many come here just to check out the snazzy yachts at the marina or enjoy some water sports at one of the beaches.
