Doha - A 5,000 square meter family entertainment center, "Megapolis", is set to open in Medina Centrale at The Pearl-Qatar this coming March in what promises to be the biggest indoor entertainment center in the region. The center will combine a multitude of entertainment venues that range from arcades and indoor attractions like golf, bowling, snooker, billiard and darts, to high tech 3D and 5D games, karaoke and an active sports zone.

The entertainment center will be further marked by an enhanced food and beverage service and will feature five eateries - Saladworks, Earl of Sandwich, Cool de Sac, Camille's Ice Cream and Mister Pizza.

Supporting its commitment to strong business partnerships, United Development Company (UDC), a leading Qatari Shareholding Company and master developer of The Pearl-Qatar, had signed a lease agreement in March 2014 with Palma Hospitality Group, covering a total area of 7000 square meter, to launch a series of genuine food and beverage (F&B) concepts in addition to Megapolis. These concepts brought by Palma Hospitality Group are strategic to the building of an interesting and diversified retail mix which suits the budding spirit of Medina Centrale, dubbed as the The Pearl-Qatar's town center.

Commenting on the impending opening, Mohamed Yoosaf, Acting General Manager of Retail Leasing at The Pearl-Qatar said, "We are delighted to see one of the most anticipated entertainment hubs in Doha and at The Pearl-Qatar come to completion. This reflects the investment stability the State of Qatar continues to enjoyand the growing interest from investors and developers in The Pearl-Qatar as a leading mixed-use development housing Doha's fastest growing community. Megapolis is therefore a valuable addition to the family-oriented facilities that are planned for the Islandand categorizes as the new generation of hybrid recreation centers that embody exquisite designs and infrastructure with high tech and service sophistication."

"Our strategic partnership with Palma Hospitality will further seetwo restaurants, La Casa 28 and Debs w Reman as well as the world-renowned coffee shop, Mokarabia,opening also in Medina Centrale later in 2015", continued Yoosaf.
