The Pearl Island

The Pearl Island is an artificial island in Doha, Qatar, that stretches along the coast and brings together residential towers, hotels, marinas, and beach sections facing the Arabian Gulf. The development is divided into several districts with promenades, shops, and restaurants connected by wide streets and pedestrian zones.

Work on this land reclamation project began in 2004 and took several years to transform the shallow coastal waters into buildable ground. The undertaking was supported by the state from the start and aimed to expand Doha's cityscape with a modern residential and leisure zone.

This artificial island takes its name from the pearl diving heritage that once formed the economic backbone of the region for centuries. Today, residents and visitors stroll along waterfront promenades with marinas, cafés, and shops that recall Mediterranean harbor towns and create a relaxed setting.

A walk along the waterfront promenade offers open views of the gulf and the city skyline, while shaded seating areas and cafés invite visitors to linger. The Legtaifiya Metro Station connects the site with central Doha and makes arrival easier without a private vehicle.

Foreign nationals can purchase real estate here, which is otherwise not possible in Qatar and makes the island a special place for international buyers. This regulation attracts investors and residents from many countries who value the year-round warm climate and proximity to the city center.
