𝗥𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗹 𝗞𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗵 - 𝗨𝗻𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 ☀️🌴

𝗦𝘂𝘄𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗶 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺: The Suwaidi Pearls Farm was established in 2005 by prominent Emirati Abdulla Al Suwaidi, and is the first farm of its kind in the Gulf region. The farm cultivates the Pinctada Radiata, otherwise known as the Gulf pearl oyster, using locally sourced mollusks that live in the natural creek in Al Rams.

𝗗𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁: Built during the 18th century on the foundations of much older structures, this historical landmark has lived through battle and siege and has the scars to prove it. Ascend uphill to explore its bones then take a moment to breathe in spectacular views of its surroundings.

𝗝𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: Fly through the sky on this bucket list attraction which will excite thrill-seekers with incredibly high speeds and a height of 1,680 metres above sea level.

𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸: Whether you are looking for an elegant dinner in a five-star hotel or a casual lunch along the Corniche, there is something for every taste and budget. Sample authentic Arabian fare like Samak Mhammar, a whole fish spiced with cumin, garlic, sumac and lemon, or savour the flavours of Friday tapas with tastes from around the world.
