United Development Company (UDC), the master developer of The Pearl Island and Gewan Island, will host "The Pearl Cirque”, a circus experience that will take centre stage at Porto Arabia’s waterfront in 30 La Croisette from October 17-26.
The event will transform Porto Arabia’s open-air amphitheatre into a circus arena, featuring a vintage-inspired tent adorned with nostalgic circus posters and illuminated by enchanting fair lights.
The venue will host up to 240 spectators per show.
The audience will be treated to a series of daily performances, with shows scheduled at 5pm, 7pm, and 9pm.
Each show will run for one hour and 30 minutes, featuring a lineup of international acts.
From daring acrobats and skilled jugglers to hilarious clowns, mysterious mimes, and captivating fire dancers, the event will showcase a wide range of breathtaking performances, adding to the event’s iconic flair.
At the heart of the spectacle will be the ringmaster, who will orchestrate the evening’s excitement, guiding the audience through a magical journey.
A world-class magician will also perform, while lively bubble performers will fill the arena with shimmering bubbles.
In celebration of local heritage, "The Pearl Cirque” will feature a performance of the Qatari Ardha, the traditional sword dance that honours Qatari culture.
In addition to the live performances, families and visitors can enjoy a variety of fun-filled fair game booths set up around the venue.
The entire event is designed to evoke the charm and wonder of a classic circus, offering an unforgettable experience for both children and adults.
