Doha, Qatar – 17 February 2026: United Development Company (UDC), master developer of The Pearl and Gewan Islands, has announced the launch of the fourth edition of The Pearl Ramadan Bazaar, to be held throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan at Porto Arabia (1–5 La Croisette) and Qanat Quartier. The event is sponsored by Ooredoo as the Official Telecommunications Sponsor.
Beautifully illuminated and decorated for Ramadan, The Pearl Island is set to welcome residents and visitors with a festive ambiance blending tradition and contemporary waterfront living. The Bazaar forms part of UDC’s wider Ramadan programme, promoting community engagement while celebrating the spirit of the Holy Month.
Building on the success of previous editions, this year’s Bazaar will host more than 40 brands offering spices, dates, honey, skincare products, abayas, fashion, accessories and jewelry. The curated retail mix supports local entrepreneurs and caters to diverse visitor interests.
The Pearl Ramadan Bazaar will open daily from 8:00pm to midnight, extending to 1:00am on weekends. Family-friendly weekend activities across Porto Arabia and Qanat Quartier will include children’s workshops and traditional Hakawati storytelling sessions.
A special Garangao celebration is scheduled for the 14th night of Ramadan, featuring children’s activities and cultural elements reflecting one of Qatar’s most cherished heritage traditions.
Enhancing the spiritual atmosphere, daily Taraweeh prayers will be held at the Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani Mosque on The Pearl, as well as at Isola Dana and Fanar Fayrouz mosques, completing the integrated Ramadan experience across the island.
As part of its corporate social responsibility efforts, UDC has allocated a complimentary café space within the Bazaar to “Shai Al Jalsah,” a Qatari café operated entirely by individuals with hearing and speech disabilities. The initiative empowers this community by providing a platform to showcase their capabilities and promote social inclusion. The café serves beverages such as karak tea, traditional tea and hibiscus drinks.
In parallel with activities at The Pearl, UDC will host additional community and entertainment events on Gewan Island, extending the Ramadan atmosphere across its master developments.
The fourth edition of The Pearl Ramadan Bazaar reflects UDC’s ongoing commitment to community engagement through cultural, social and commercial initiatives that preserve Ramadan values while enhancing destination experiences.
