Pearls of Arabia ... set to come up at The World.
DMCC to build Pearls hub on the world
01 April 2008
Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has unveiled plans for The World, that will help the island development off the coast of Dubai to once again re-establish the emirate as a centre for the global pearl trade.
Pearls of Arabia, as the project will be known, will feature a high-quality offshore entertainment, retail and educational centre.
In association with Paspaley Pearling, the world’s original South Sea pearl company and producer of the world’s finest pearls, DMCC will establish a 6,000-sq-m experience centre on Antarctica at The World Islands.
It will feature a pearl-themed cultural heritage centre, a performing arts theatre, an exhibition gallery and a themed restaurant alongside boutiques inviting participation from the leading international names in the pearl industry.
Once complete by end-2010, visitors will travel to this unique destination by water ferries, says a spokesman for the developer.
