In the heart of Muharraq, Bahrain’s former capital, the heritage site “Pearling, Testimony of an Island Economy” relates the unique legacy of Bahrain’s pearling era, through the architecture and the urban heritage of the old city of Muharraq as well as three pearl producing oyster beds in the northern territorial waters of Bahrain. Conservation works have been ongoing in the site since 2011 and currently, Nukhidhah House, the Pearling Path Visitor Centre, Bu Mahir Visitor Centre and Qal’at Bu Mahir are open to public visits. Please see the The pearling path in detail for more in-depth information
