Doha- Pearlfection


The Pearl is an artifical island that we now live on, with over 32 kilometres of  "created" new coastline and  an extensive canal system.

Ferrari, Maserati and Rolls Royce have dealership but I'll take a Ducati bike anytime.

With 31 towers and over  42,000 apartments, villas, and townhouses, it's quite impressive.



In  Doha, Qatar's capital, entire new neighborhoods have been built
 on land reclaimed from the sea. And the buildings have one thing in
common: Bling. We are lucky to be living HERE at The Pearl Quarter.




Doha's skyline looks like it was designed by architects who didn't talk to each other, didn't like each other, and engaged in experiments they could never get away with at home. And a Qatari can live anywhere without ever leaving home. A virtual Venice is around the corner. Rodeo Drive is down the block. And there are world-class restaurants in the ancient Arab souk, which was rebuilt as well. Qatar's 250,000 citizens are, quite literally, the richest people in the world and very content with their lives in this oil-and-gas-rich speck of a nation.
