More About Muharraq Island, Qal’at Bu Mahir Fortress, And Coastal And Offshore Pearling Sites:
Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2012, the pearling sites are located in the form of a long trail along the island of Muharraq. Situated in the northern region of the state, Muharraq has long been a center of religious activity and tradition, but the pearling sites are etched in the annals of history for a different reason altogether.
Muharraq Island was famous for being the most prominent site for harvesting sea pearls from oyster beds. The trade was so influential that it helped shaped the island’s economy for a few centuries until the initial decades of the 20th century. The trail comprises 3 oyster beds which are still a site of this amazing vocation (albeit part-time now) in addition to 17 buildings which are now the remnants of a past era. The Qal’at Bu Mahir fortress and the island’s southern seashore complete the heritage site making it worth at least one visit to explore the wonders that await.
