In the 1800s Emiratis were doing pearl diving business which used to be the only economic trade with goods at that period of time and people used to the old ancient wooden boats called dhows where they spent months at the sea to find as many as possible black and pink pearls.
Emirates Marine Environmental Group (EMEG) and Jumairah have jointly formed a new pearl diving tour off Palm Jebel Ali to reconnect this habit by giving up to 20 paid guests a chance to travel back in time.
The president of EMEG invited journalists from the Gulf News to a dhow tour and how to fetch oysters plus how to shell the creatures.
Pearl diving tours attempt to create an authentic experience by offering traditional diving clothes, fish and rice dishes cooked aboard and sharing old time stories.
They are looking forward to revive a heritage that faded away but for hundreds of years was the sole source of income.
