The Pearl

Welcome to The Pearl.

It's a completely man made island that will house hundreds of buildings. It will basically consist of a massive amount of high rise residential buildings, villas, shopping centers, private beaches, and land for private new home construction. It's completely insane but once again, Qatar has no financial limitations.

We went on this island to the sales center (which looks like a giant oyster) and walked inside. Let me just say that what was inside would make any architecture student, who's had to construct a model, sick. This entire complex was in model form (maybe 1/16 or 3/32 scale). Every high rise, shopping enter, villa, everything was built up. I was not allowed to take pictures of the model but just imagine the sickest most detailed grand model ever and you wont' come close to this.
