Pearl Roundabout, square in Manama, Bahrain

Pearl Roundabout was a large circular square in central Manama where multiple roads intersected, surrounded by tall buildings and markets. A white monument in the center featured six sail-shaped structures with a pearl symbol at its apex, creating a recognizable landmark in the city.

The monument was erected in 1982 to represent the six nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Bahrain's pearl fishing legacy. In 2011, the square became the focal point of major protests, and the government demolished the monument in March of that year.

The monument's six concrete sails, each 36.2 metres tall, stood for the GCC's six member states, while the fibreglass pearl above them, weighing about 100 kg, referred to the Gulf's pearl-diving trade that sustained the region before oil. The roundabout's name, Dawwār al-Luʾluʾ, simply means "Roundabout of the Pearl".

The roundabout no longer exists: the Pearl Monument was demolished on 18 March 2011 and the site was replaced in 2017 by the Al Farooq Junction, a traffic reconfiguration. Visitors looking for the monument will find only road infrastructure there. The nearby Bahrain Central Market and the Abraj Al Lulu towers remain reference points in the area.

The Pearl Monument was designed and built by the Al-Haj Hassan Al-A'ali group in early 1984, one of three well-known sculptures erected in Bahrain around that time, alongside Hamed Al-Yamani's Sail Monument and Rashid Al-Oraifi's Dilmun Monument. Each of its six ribs rose 36.2 metres, and the fibreglass pearl on top weighed about 100 kg, hollowed inside to cut its weight.
