Al Muharraq Pearling Path Private Tour

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Manama at 9 am and drive to Al Muharraq, the ancient capital of Bahrain. There we'll follow the famous Pearling Path to visit significant sites for this industry.

First, we'll visit the oldest dhow workshop in the country, where we will discover how these traditional Arab sailing boats are made and their current use in pearl searching.

Next, we will explore the Al Qaisariya Market, which has over 100 years of history. We'll learn about its relevance in the economic evolution of Bahrain as we explore its various stalls.

Another notable stop on the Pearling Trail is the Bin Matar House, a museum dedicated to a prominent pearling industry merchant. We will explore its rooms and learn about this family's significant contributions to the Gulf region during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Finally, we'll visit the Al-Ghus House, historical for belonging to a notable diver. The guide will share insights about this individual, the first to come into contact with the pearl.

The tour will conclude with our arrival in Manama four hours later.
