reviving a lost legacy?

Abu Dhabi: If you’re out to make the most of the good weather and do something different, it may
not be a bad idea to make a trip to the Al Rams area, 12 km from Ras Al Khaimah.

The destination, Suwaidi Pearls, can offer you an insightful and hands-on experience with pearl
diving, an industry that thrived in the region for over 4,000 years. And what’s more, you can learn the
art from a family with a legacy in pearl diving.
Abdullah Al Suwaidi, who is the last in a long line of traditional pearl divers dating back to the 12th
and 13th centuries, comes from a family rooted in the pearl trade. As he explains, his grandfather
was among the last active pearl divers in the UAE.

Visitors can learn the art of pearl diving from a family with a legacy in the field.

Keen to preserve the family heritage, Al Suwaidi founded the only farm in the region - and the world -
where oysters are naturally cultivated.
A key destination being promoted as part of the World’s Coolest Winter Campaign, the pearl farm
offers visitors a glimpse into the history of pearl diving, highlighting its significance while allowing
them to experience the Al Rams Creek.
