Instructions & Recommendations

Dress conservatively and do not forget to wear sunscreen There are options to include lunch in the tour (advanced booking required)

Meta review

The online reviews are excellent, praising the staff and highlighting the cultural aspect of learning about this traditional practice that all but disappeared in the Gulf countries with the development of cultured pearls. Some recurring tip to book the morning tour.

Environmental & Social

Very low environmental footprint + the farm is powered by solar panels. Helps preserve local tradition

Conclusion

Suwaidi Pearl is slightly expensive for a 2h tour without obvious corresponding cost base but it is certainly interesting and one of the most original tours to take in the UAE, in our opinion. Recommended for the curious-minded

Key positive

Friendly and knowledgeable guides

Cultural activity in the UAE outside of a museum!

Key negative

A little expensive

Limited timings per day (lacks flexibility)

Suitability

The tour is rated as wheelchair accessible but best to double check with management. Suitable for all ages
