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 the most significant buildings for this industry in Bahrain.
First, we'll visit the oldest dhow workshop in the country. Here, we'll discover how these traditional Arab sailing boats are made and how they are used now, especially in the search for pearls.
We'll continue by visiting the Al Qaisariya Market, delving into the more than 100 years of history of this mythical corner of Al Muharraq. As we explore the different stalls it houses, we'll also learn about its relevance in the economic evolution of Bahrain.
Another emblematic place on the Pearling Trail is the Bin Matar House, a museum dedicated to one of the most prominent merchants in the pearling industry. We'll explore the different rooms, discovering the contribution of this family in the Gulf region during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Finally, we'll head to the Al-Ghus House. This place occupies a very important place on the route, as it belonged to one of the most notable divers in the country. The guide will tell you all about this figure, the first person to have contact with the pearl.
The tour will conclude with our arrival in Manama four hours later.
