Bahrain Pearling Trail, Maritime heritage trail in Muharraq, Bahrain
The Pearling Trail extends across 3.5 kilometers of Muharraq Island, connecting seventeen restored buildings that represent the maritime pearl industry.
The trail documents the evolution of pearl trading from 2000 BC through its peak in the 1850s until its decline in the 1930s with Japanese cultured pearls.
The path includes structures such as merchant houses, warehouses, and diving sites that showcase the economic and social fabric of Bahraini pearl trading.
Visitors can explore the trail through guided walking tours, starting at Bu Mahir fort and continuing through historical sections of Muharraq Island.
The Bahrain Authority for Culture prohibits trading cultured pearls within the country to maintain the legacy of natural pearl cultivation.
