Bahrain was the pearl capital of the world for 4,000 years. A private experience with traditional divers includes a dhow sailing trip to the offshore oyster beds, the art of free-diving for oysters without breathing apparatus (shallow sessions, safely guided) and the satisfaction of opening your own natural oysters on deck. Combined with Manama’s evolving cultural scene and a Michelin dinner at Nobu, this is a genuinely unusual and enriching trip.
