The Pearl Island (Arabic: جزيرة اللؤلؤة, romanized: jazirat alluwlua) in Doha, Qatar, is an artificial island with an area of nearly 4 square kilometres (1.5 sq mi). It is the first land in Qatar to be available for freehold ownership by foreign nationals.[4] As of 2018, there were 27,000 residents.
Once fully completed, The Pearl was expected to create over 32 kilometers of new coastline, for use as a residential estate with an expected 18,831 dwellings and 45,000 residents by 2018.[5]
In 2004, when the project was first revealed, the initial cost of constructing the island stood at $2.5 billion.[6] It is now believed the project will cost $15 billion upon completion.[7][8]
