The Muharraq Pearling Path is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that preserves Bahrain’s storied pearl-diving legacy through a network of restored merchant houses, traditional pathways and cultural landmarks. The path highlights the economic and cultural importance of the pearl trade, which shaped Bahraini society long before the discovery of oil.

Visitors can explore beautifully restored buildings including traditional majlis spaces, merchant residences and workshops that once supported the bustling industry. The architecture reflects the craftsmanship and lifestyle of historic Muharraq families, while exhibitions provide insight into diving techniques, equipment, and the dangerous voyages undertaken by pearl divers.

Walking the Pearling Path offers a unique cultural immersion—an opportunity to step into a living museum that tells the story of Bahrain’s maritime past and its influence on modern identity.
