The Pearl

I decided to take a trip down to The Pearl after seeing a banner reading "Venice is now in Qatar"... Qanat quarter now open.


I drove around like an idiot for 20 mins trying to find the Qanat quarter.


Can anyone give directions on how to get to this quarter once inside the Pearl, or does it not exist yet??

I receive from UDC a bill for the master community charge even if it was suppose to be include in our 150qr/m2 per years according to First Qatar. I fully understand that we have to pay to maintain our building and the island but do you think that this is exagerated. It's costing me per month for a 2 Br for the service charge only, (that doesn't include qatarcool karama ect). 2688 qr (for service charge of my building First Qatar) and 1290qr ( for master community charge UDC) total of 3978qr montly or 13100 US$ per year. For and island still in construction on wish they still put the AC at maximum while the door are open, I find it exagerated.

I'm curious of what is the services charges of the other developper UDC, Sabban, The Land???

Ha.. not in Qatar yet.. just trying to get some info as I'm hopefully moving out in August. Is that ok??

Is it going to be a facility that'll be open to everyone? the clubs etc? or just to the lucky few that buy up the properties? 

When is it likely to be up and running? I was under the impression from the net ads for qatar that 'Venice' was already there!

I agree with you....I was just wondering why they say ' Venice is now open in Qatar', when they have barely started building!!!

that 'venice in Qatar advert' - is stupid.... it gives such the wrong impression.

 

a) if a qatari girl dated and got caught there would be bloodshed

b) if an expat upset the wrong person we would get deported.

 

Who are they kidding???

 

What is wrong using Arab culture to market the Pearl? like Al sharq hotel???

The Pearl is still under construction and hence isn't open for the public to just drive around in! They've only just "topped-off" the first couple of buildings (though many more are rising upwards quickly). I believe the dome at the entrance to the construction area contains all the information about what is being built.
