As an Emirati I felt so proud to experience this special pearl tour and I truly recommend it to all Emiratis and of course expats who wants to know more about our history, heritage and culture, Ali and his team are really doing great job and every detail is just so enriching for the soul, heart and mind to learn more about our beautiful culture and the history of the pearl diving industry in the region.

A breath taking tour, the moment you open the oyster to search for the pearl is the best feeling ever, a great tour to experience with the family and friends. thanks to the great pearl journey guides, thank you all.

Each guest is given the chance to search for a pearl after we open the seashell in front of them with the oyster knife (oyster opener tool). Every guest will be searching the seashells until they find the pearl. Each guests will discover his/her own pearl because we make sure that we have enough seashells that are with pearls. So in case a guest doesn’t find a pearl in the first seashell that they open then they will receive another seashell till they find their pearl.
