The Pearl
Doha is Qatar’s capital and most populous city. Located in the Persian Gulf, the expanding metropolis is home to over 60% of Qatar’s residents. As a part of Doha’s expansion, an artificial island spanning nearly four million square meters has been built. Known as ‘The Pearl”, the development includes a luxury mall, where the call to prayer can be heard by shoppers.
