Pearl diving was an intricate part of the UAE's heritage in times gone by. Now days it is very seldom practiced as large scale development has damaged or killed off the naturally occurring oyster beds and populations.

In the UAE history of pearl diving, there were local tribesmen who would provide the boat and financial help for a sea captain or 'Al Nokatha' (boss of the boat) and his crew on condition that they received the majority share of the profit made in pearl diving. The rest of the profit would be shared between the captain of the boat and his crew.Boats were even jointly owned by a group of tribesmen. The owner of the boat usually sold the pearls to traders from other countries such as India who also had demands from other countries abroad for the pearls.

The predominant culture in the UAE is Islamic, as such the rules, regulations (Sharia) and cultural beliefs are upheld. Traditions and local cultural practices include: fishing, falconry, pearl diving as well as the farming of camel and dates. All these pre-date the exploitation of natural gas and oil deposits of the region, but are still highly regarded as traditional activities.
