The Pearl-Qatar ((アラビア語:اللؤلؤة قطر)) in Doha, Qatar, is an artificial island spanning nearly four million square metres. It is the first land in Qatar to be available for freehold ownership by foreign nationals.〔http://realestate.theemiratesnetwork.com/developments/qatar/the_pearl.php〕 As of January 2015, there are 12,000 residents.〔(Pearl-Qatar to expand offerings with new entertainment center in 2015 )〕 In the spring of 2012, there were some 5,000 residents,〔("Deal to provide key services for Pearl-Qatar" ). ''The Gulf Times''.〕 and in the spring of 2011 there were some 3,000 residents.〔(Number of residents in The Pearl-Qatar exceeds 3,000 )〕
Once fully completed, The Pearl will create over 32 kilometres of new coastline, for use as a residential estate with an expected 18,831 dwellings and 45,000 residents by 2018.〔 Developed by United Development Company and planned by architecture and design firm Callison, the island is located 350 metres offshore of Doha's West Bay Lagoon area.

==Etymology==
The name "The Pearl" was chosen because the island is being built on one of Qatar's previous major pearl diving sites. Qatar was one of the major pearl traders of Asia before the Japanese introduced cheaper more affordable pearls just before Qatar's oil boom. The Pearl Qatar will help represent Qatar's rich past in the pearl industry. Once completed The Pearl will resemble a string of pearls.
