could you elaborate about the Pearl Qatar not being a success...
I know this project quite well since it was only a dream and, while I am sure it has been taking more time then expected/promised I believe it will be a hit once fully operational.
Doha might be a small town (depending from the point of view) but the government is strongly committed in making it a destination and with all the money they are investing I will not be surprised to see that happen...
just my opinion
