Thanks Pearl of the Gulf for the pic and Salman, thats amazing how the Pearl is completed. But anyone notice that they actually created more land than needed for the Pearl? Also, I have placed some names in Key Projects in Doha (nothing new, but still interesting). Tell me if I should add more things.

Actually, the sand is taken from the sea bed. And during land reclaimation, calcite shell fragments are broken down to create a more dense material suitable for land creation. So, perhaps the white sand is the shells... You can also see that the Dafna area is white considering it too was reclaimed (hence the name)...

That "extra" reclaimed part is big! It is almost half the size of the original!

thanks for the pic, yes that is the motogp track there. Its hard to imagine that area over the Pearl will become lusail! 200 000 people are going to live in this desert.

no i'm afraid that for the updated high-resolution photos, you have to purchase the prints.
