Jumeirah Group, in partnership with the Emirates Marine Environmental Group, is launching a traditional pearl diving experience at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai starting March 2.
Dressed in traditional diving clothing, guests will board an authentic dhow boat off the shores of Jebel Ali. Diving to depths of around 10 ft to 16 ft (3 m to 5 m), they will use original pearl diving methods to collect oysters and be able to keep any pearls they find.
On board the dhow, guests will take part in singing and storytelling and will be served a typical Emirati lunch of fish and rice dishes.
The experience costs US$190 (700 dirhams) per adult.
