04 Dive for pearls
A global center for natural pearls, Bahrain is a great place to buy and to dive for the tiny perfect spheres. Snorkeling or diving the warm turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf is already a spectacular adventure where you can see rays, barracuda and turtles. Many organized expeditions that leave from Manama include lunch and all the necessary gear for diving into the oyster beds of Bahrain's ancient pearling grounds. Some tours will even allow you to keep the pearls you find.
