The Pearl-Qatar, Qatar's premier multi-billion dollar real estate development project was the proud organizer on Thursday of a special Ladies Night which saw Lebanese singing star Najwa Karam perform to a packed audience.
Co-sponsored by Commercial Bank and Alfardan Jewellery, the event was hosted at the Sheraton hotel, a short distance away from the huge island development where 40,000 residents will eventually live.
Ms Karam sang some of her greatest hits along with tracks from her latest album to an enthusiastic crowd of women numbering in excess of one thousand.
Amro Zaki, organizer of major music events in the Middle East, described the event as “the classiest and most successful ladies’ music event I’ve ever seen and organized in Qatar.”
The spectacular evening began with a presentation from officials at The Pearl-Qatar who showcased the many different features and amenities on the island development and the benefits for investors and homeowners.
Officials from Commercial Bank then gave a detailed presentation on their various products and services including loans and mortgages.
A fashion show sponsored by Alfardan Jewelry followed impressing the crowd with a selection of rare jewels. “It was a fantastic show and we are thrilled to have had Najwa Karam come to our headquarters to learn about The Pearl-Qatar project,” said Roger Dagher, Chief Communication Officer for United Development Company (UDC), owner and developer of the multi-billion dollar island development.
During her visit, officials from The Pearl-Qatar gave Ms Karam a presentation of the island and the various districts being constructed.
“I very much enjoyed my time in Doha and visiting The Pearl-Qatar, it is a beautiful project and looks just like the French Riveria,” Ms Karam said. “I also want to thank UDC for organizing this event and all the fans who came to the concert. I look forward to coming back again soon,” she said.
The Pearl-Qatar is one of the largest real estate projects in Qatar and the only project offering true freehold investment opportunities. Porto Arabia, the first district of the island to be developed, has witnessed rapid growth and generated wide interest.
All 31 plots of towers have been sold to developers. Piling and construction works are underway for many of the towers.
Construction of The Pearl-Qatar is progressing and can be viewed from Doha’s waterfront. The island will be home to some 40,000 residents by 2009 and the first units at Porto Arabia will be ready for occupants in late 2007.
