Pearl Qatar, a man-made island in the Arabian Gulf off the coast of Qatar,  promises to be one of the Middle East’s most glamorous playgrounds. It has all the right ingredients- sun, sand, water and money. Qatar, Arab’s richest nation, also controls five percent of the world's proven natural gas reserves.

Yes, Pearl Qatar, also known as Riviera Arabia, is a likely match for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The company just opened a showroom on this glamorous island, marking the event with the unveiling of the new Ghost.

“…I am convinced that it is the ideal environment to house the pinnacle of luxury in the automotive market. Our presence on this exclusive venue reinforces the strategic importance of Qatar and the Middle East region to the future growth of Rolls-Royce,” said Tom Purves, CEO, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
