The experience
Discover Gulf pearling traditions through an Emirati-led experience, historic diving stories and a live oyster-opening keepsake.
Choose between the listed dhow heritage format and an event-style cultural presentation. The dhow option begins around Yas Bay Waterfront and returns to its dock; the event format takes place at an agreed venue. These should not be confused as the same route.
The starting reference covers the named heritage experience, with coffee, tea and dates listed. Breakfast is option-dependent, and hotel transport is separate. Confirm the exact format, meeting point, duration and any allergy considerations before booking.
