DOHA: United Development Company (UDC), leading Qatari public shareholding company and the master developer of The Pearl Island and Gewan Island, has unveiled a special series of Eid Al Fitr celebrations, running from March 31 to April 5 2025.

This year, for the first time, Gewan Island will also join the celebration, offering guests an exciting new location to experience the joy of Eid through curated entertainment and engaging activities.

Across the two islands, guests will be welcomed into a lively atmosphere filled with cultural performances, traditional music, and live stage shows that pay tribute to the rich heritage of the region.

These experiences aim to create lasting memories, while further establishing The Pearl and Gewan Islands as leading lifestyle destinations during the most cherished seasons of the year.
