Suwaidi Pearls

The Suwaidi Pearls pearl farm is located in the small fishing village of Al Rams, which nestles at the bottom of the majestic Al Hajar mountain range in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Established in 2005 by Mr. Abdulla Al Suwaidi, the world’s first Arabian pearl farmer. For the first time in history, the region is now farming Arabian Pearls in the surrounding seas. This historic development links the past to the future and is the defining journey from historic natural pearls to the pearls of the region today. Suwaidi Pearls had opened its doors to the public to share the unique cultural heritage of the pearling industry, explaining the historical evolution and inviting guests to see the underwater treasures of the natural lagoon. Rich in biodiversity and an area of outstanding natural beauty, all around are the gifts of nature. The area is a garden of paradise and a magical place that brings a serenity to the surrounding area.

The whole family loved it! We booked the tour departing Al Rams fishermen marina at 16:30 and enjoyed the afternoon breeze. Iftar was optional as Ramadan had started, but we did not book it. I’d recommend the tour to anyone, interested in the local tradition of pearl diving or cultivating pearl oysters. Thank you, Suwaidi Pearls team, for your hospitality and sharing your knowledge & passion!

Dhayah Fort

Reviewed By IamtheDunxter - Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

This was just a quick trip in the afternoon in the most perfect temperatures! There is not too much to review on this as it is a fairly small attraction but well worth the trip! Road access is very easy and you can park right at the bottom of hill which the fort is built on and next to the footpath which climbs up to the hill! There is an excellent information board telling you a potted version of the forts history! This site is not exactly wheelchair friendly but you should be ok if you can walk a couple of hundred metres, the footpath meanders gently back and forth up the hill with the last tiny part is having a few steep steps but not to many and is well worth the effort! I’m 60 years old and not very fit but I found it no problem and even climes the ladders through the hatch onto the roof floor! Getting up and back down was easy for both me and my wife. You get magnificent views of a 360 degree vista from the top or even the just the base of the fort! The surrounding area has a few old and interesting derelict properties which we found very intriguing.

The Ghost Town of Ras Al Khaimah

Reviewed By Paola921

Honored to have been selected for the 7th annual Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival which is 'housed' at the Al Jazirah Al Hamra, I had an unuaual opportunity to see this site. It certainly was an elegant evening with His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi greeting all of the artists (including me). If you are in RAK any time before April 30th do go and see the exhibit. You can visit this historic site any time. (Free)
