On this tour, you’ll explore the world of the divers who played a key role in Bahrain’s renowned pearl industry – a large portion of the country’s economy before oil was discovered. You’ll learn about the fascinating history of pearling and hear stories of triumph and tragedy.

You’ll visit a selection of important landmarks including Muharraq Souq with its famous sweet shops, the dhow-building yard, the typically Bahrani Bin Matar House where a successful pearling merchant once lived and Bait Al Ghus – a pearl diver’s house and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
