While strolling along Al Corniche stop by the Pearl monument. If you're not familiar with the history of Doha, this now thriving city started as a pearl fishing village. Pearls were the main source of income for Doha prior to oil, and they suffered quite severely after WWII when Japan started producing cultivated pearls. This is also a great spot to admire the wooden dhows and the city view. #history #statue #cityview #promenade #walking #walk #doha #qatar #pearlmonument
