The structure is a 100-meter-tall architectural monument consisting of a pair of intertwined steel arches and an intricate cable net. Designed by Erik Behrens, the monument officially opened on December 16, 2017. The design serves as a symbolic gateway between historic districts and the modern Lusail City, utilizing an innovative structural design that incorporates a digital billboard.

The monument's aesthetic is heavily influenced by maritime heritage, specifically the tradition of pearl diving, which is reflected in the complex cable net pattern. Beyond its artistic value, the tilted steel arches are recognized as an award-winning symbol of cultural resilience that pushes the limits of architectural imagination.
