Included in the TimeSuwaidi Pearl Farm Ras Al Khaimah Overview
Pearling was an important part of the UAE's coastal economy long before the discovery of oil. Traditional pearl divers used simple tools and specialised techniques, while each member of the pearling crew had a role in keeping the boat and its work organised. Suwaidi Pearls Farm helps preserve this heritage by introducing visitors to historic pearl-diving practices and the development of the pearl trade.
Located in Al Rams, at the foothills of the Al Hajar Mountains, Suwaidi Pearls combines the region's maritime heritage with modern pearl cultivation. The experience gives visitors an opportunity to explore the mangrove-lined coast, visit the floating pearl farmhouse and learn how cultured Arabian pearls are produced.
