Jumeirah launches pearl diving trips in Dubai
16 Feb 2012
Luxury hospitality company Jumeirah Group has announced details of a new pearl diving experience available to travellers staying in hotels in Dubai.
From 2 March, guests of Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts will be invited to learn more about historic pearling traditions that once provided the main source of income for people living in the region.
The tours will begin with a meeting at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and a bus trip to Palm Jebel Ali, where guests will be briefed and given their traditional diving attire before boarding the dhow boat.
After enjoying singing, storytelling and a typical Emirati fish and rice dish for lunch onboard the vessel, participants will dive to depths of three to five metres in search of pearls that can be kept as souvenirs.
The activity will be run by the Pavilion Dive Centre at Jumeirah Beach Hotel in partnership with the Emirates Marine Environmental Group.
As well as offering luxury accommodation in the Middle East, Jumeirah operates hotels in New York, London, Shanghai, the Maldives and other destinations across the globe.
