House of Pearls is a visit to the Suwaidi Pearl Farm, the world’s first Arabian pearl farm, reached by a short traditional boat ride from Al Rams village. The farm was founded by Abdulla Rashed Al Suwaidi, whose family carries generations of pearl diving history.
The boat crosses calm water lined with mangroves before reaching the floating farm at the foot of the Hajjar Mountains. A guide walks you through the farm’s displays on pearl cultivation, from traditional diving methods to the science behind seeding oysters today. You watch a live oyster-opening and see how a pearl is removed, then get the chance to open one yourself for a shot at finding a pearl of your own, which you can purchase afterward as a keepsake. The Pearl Museum on site covers more of this history, including displays on the Pearl Trader and Captain’s Chest Box.
The farm runs on solar power, and there is a small boutique gift shop for browsing once the tour ends. Rayna Tours’ local team handles your booking and support for the visit.
