United Development Company (UDC), master developer of The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan islands, has finalised preparations to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan.
UDC has festooned The Pearl-Qatar with special lighting, decorating public areas, lampposts and roundabouts to reflect the authentic essence and beauty of Ramadan across the island, the company said in a press statement.
In line with tradition, UDC has put up special decorations on the island, inspired by the spirit of the holy month, while illuminating The Pearl-Qatar’s main roads leading to Qanat Quartier, Medina Centrale and Piazza Arabia – the facade of Porto Arabia, creating a joyful ambiance across the island, the statement notes.
To ensure a smooth shopping experience at The Pearl-Qatar throughout the holy month, retailers will open their doors to visitors in the morning from 10am until 2pm, and in the evening from 8pm until midnight.
Restaurants across the island, meanwhile, will be serving Iftar and Suhoor to visitors and residents, who will have the opportunity to savour some Ramadan-special dishes in a relaxed and luxurious atmosphere.
Visitors can shop for Arabic incense, oriental perfumes, gift baskets and Ramadan sweets.
Also, in keeping with the Ramadan spirit, mosques at The Pearl-Qatar have prepared to welcome an influx of worshippers, including the Grand Mosque at the island’s entrance.
Prayer rooms throughout Porto Arabia and Medina Centrale will also be open to the general public.
