The village of pearl divers in Dubai are the museum under the open sky in the territory of which different types of traditional Arab boats are exposed. Here it is possible to see transport boats with canopies – abra, a fishing baggara, the most popular boats of preschool educational institution on which local fishermen put out to sea and today, and also dzhalbuta – boats with high boards from which pearl divers dived into the abyss.

To see how get sinks-zhemchuzhnitsy from a sea bottom, it is possible and today, however, professional divers in full equipment are engaged in it. During a trade festival in the Village of pearl divers arrange "a pearl lottery". Everyone can pay 5 dirhams and choose a sink which will be opened right there. If inside there is a pearl, the lucky takes away it to himself.
