TO welcome the Holy Month of Ramadan and create a joyful ambiance for the Island's residents and visitors, United Development Company (UDC), master developer of The Pearl-Qatar has festooned the Island with special lighting and structures that are strongly underpinned with an authentic essence of the holy month.
As tradition goes at UDC, the Company has decorated roads, palm trees and lampposts and lightened up The Pearl-Qatar's main entrance gate and the main driveways leading to Qanat Quartier, Medina Centrale and Piazza Arabia the facade of Porto Arabia in addition to all main roundabouts.
Also throughout Ramadan, visitors and residents of the Island will enjoy the variety of iftar and suhour special menus served at restaurants across The Pearl-Qatar in a unique atmosphere that combines modern and luxurious living with the holy month's traditions.
Visitors can equally shop for Arabic incense, fine dates, oriental perfumes, groceries, gift baskets and sweet hampers resonant with the Ramadan spirit, around Qanat Quartier, Porto Arabia and Medina Centrale's retail outlets.
The Pearl-Qatar's shopping outlets will be open in the morning from 10am till 2pm and in the evening from 8pm until midnight with the exception of restaurants that host iftars.
