The United Arab Emirates and Ras Al Khaimah, in particular, have an extraordinary pearl fishing history that dates back over seven millennia. Archaeologists have discovered that Ras Al Khaimah’s pearl industry was thriving in the 12th century, known as the early part of the High Middle Ages or the Age of the Cistercians. Ras Al Khaimah became one of the busiest trading ports in the region because of its pearl industry.
Celebrating the history of pearl fishing in Ras Al Khaimah, Abdulla Al Suwaidi opened Suwaidi Pearl Farm in honour of his late grandfather, Mohammed. Abdulla watched in awe as his grandfather would disappear under the water for minutes at a time and return clutching spherical translucent treasures that royal families would wear. Abdulla was convinced that Mohammed was half man and half fish.
