Things to do in United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates: The Best Farms
Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

If you wanna have an authentic amazing activity in Dubai, this is THE thing to do ! Viviane, the owner, will welcome you with such incredible energy and show you the farm and all the animals. You can also, and I strongly recommend it, do a camel ride (half an hour or one hour) for a very good price ; the ride brings you in the desert, you feel like a real local, it’s super easy to ride and that brings you an fantastic experience! Definitely, you have to do it ! (Call them to make a booking, and do not forget to bring some cash as they can’t accept credit card). They speak English and French.

This is a very family friendly event, great for young children. The highlight of the trip was our tour guide who was passionate, witty, easy going and fun loving. Whilst I loved the visit, here are my suggestions: - have two types of tours - family (targeted to those with children under 10) and adults. - have more information about the farming. I was so eager to see and learn about the chicken farm, but due to the risk of infection we weren’t allowed to go near the hens. A live streamed video in the waiting area with the key facts would have been a great idea. - get rid of the plastic! For an organic farm, to receive my dine in juice in a plastic disposable cup and straw was a bit out of character to the message they were conveying. - add more animal interactions. I loved the goats at the entrance. They are the most well loved, friendly and fed goats in the region! But some more animals around would have been a hit. I.e ducks, a camel, a cow, a few unquarantined chickens, horse and donkey. - to expand the tour, show the composting process, the planting process etc. have a longer tour where you can harvest more (pay for what you pick) and plant the new crops. Total time spent - 2 hours.

The Suwaidi Pearls pearl farm is located in the small fishing village of Al Rams, which nestles at the bottom of the majestic Al Hajar mountain range in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Established in 2005 by Mr. Abdulla Al Suwaidi, the world’s first Arabian pearl farmer. For the first time in history, the region is now farming Arabian Pearls in the surrounding seas. This historic development links the past to the future and is the defining journey from historic natural pearls to the pearls of the region today. Suwaidi Pearls had opened its doors to the public to share the unique cultural heritage of the pearling industry, explaining the historical evolution and inviting guests to see the underwater treasures of the natural lagoon. Rich in biodiversity and an area of outstanding natural beauty, all around are the gifts of nature. The area is a garden of paradise and a magical place that brings a serenity to the surrounding area.

The whole family loved it! We booked the tour departing Al Rams fishermen marina at 16:30 and enjoyed the afternoon breeze. Iftar was optional as Ramadan had started, but we did not book it. I’d recommend the tour to anyone, interested in the local tradition of pearl diving or cultivating pearl oysters. Thank you, Suwaidi Pearls team, for your hospitality and sharing your knowledge & passion!
