The Pearl Monument

The Pearl Monument is a fountain sculpture situated on Corniche Street, just outside Dhow Harbor in Doha, Qatar. The monument features a giant open oyster holding a colossal pearl in its mouth, honoring Qatar's pearling heritage. It makes for a great photo opportunity, especially at night when it lights up. The monument is a symbol of Qatar's rich history in pearl trading, which was a significant industry before the discovery of oil. Visitors can take pictures, learn about the local pearl diving industry, and explore nearby attractions such as the National Museum of Qatar, the Museum of Islamic Art, and the Souq Waqif marketplace. The area around the monument is also charming, with beautiful beaches, seating areas, and expensive restaurants offering stunning views of the Doha skyline
