A fascinating artificial island sprawling over an area of over four million square metres, the Pearl Qatar is indeed the first in Qatar to be available for freehold ownership by foreigners. Among the many serviced apartments Doha in which one can seek accommodation during the visit to this small wonder, Ascott Doha stands tall amidst the wide range of Doha serviced apartments offering world class services and comforts. Located 350 meters off of Doha’s shores, this island was designed by the renowned architecture and design firm Callison and is said to be a project that cost more than $15 billion. The Pearl Qatar was thus named as it has been built on one of Qatar’s previous major pearl diving sites. Representing Qatar’s rich past in the pearl trade, the Pearl Qatar once completed will look like a string of glistening pearls.
