Ashghal relocated the popular Pearl Monument from the popular shell roundabout to the Al Fardah Roundabout in Al Wakra, Old Souq, located adjacent to Al Wakra Port.
This was done with the aim to preserve the Qatari cultural heritage, and is inline with the Qatar National Vision 2030. The relocation was done with the help of Private Engineering Office (PEO), and forms part of expressway project for upgrade of Al Wakra Main Road.
The Pearl Monument was relocated from its original location to help convert the Pearl Roundabout into a single-controlled intersection, as part of Al Wakra Main Road Upgrade Project.
In the year 2018, it was announced that the roundabout would be converted to a signal and the structure would be removed but, majority of the people had requested that the sculpture be conserved as a landmark of Al Wakra City.
So, as promised then, the Authorities shifted it to a new location without demolishing the sculpture to preserve the heritage of the city.
