It was established with an aim to revive the legacy and rich history of Arabian pearl diving and highlight its historical, cultural, and economic value. During the tour, the Sharjah Chamber delegation was briefed by Abdullah Rashid Al Suwaidi, Suwaidi Pearls Founder, on the scientific and environmentally sustainable techniques used in pearl cultivation.

He affirmed the importance of supporting initiatives of such cultural, economic, and tourism significance. He noted that the Sharjah Chamber delegation's visit falls within its strategic framework to enhance cooperation with sustainable national ventures that integrate heritage and tradition with innovation and modern sustainable development. This direction is further reinforced through SCCI's sponsorship and continued support of Sharjah's portfolio of specialized jewelry and gemstone exhibitions. For his part, Abdullah Rashid Al Suwaidi said that the Sharjah Chamber's visit represents valuable support for the Suwaidi Pearl Farm, a leading model in this field—being the only one of its kind in the region and worldwide where oysters are naturally propagated and cultivated. He added that Suwaidi Pearls is honored to take part in the Jewels of Emirates Show, organized and hosted by Expo Centre Sharjah with support from the Sharjah Chamber, and to recently launch the 'Rare Natural Pearls' Exhibition'. The Suwaidi Pearl Farm also participated in a seminar that explored the UAE's historical role and longstanding legacy in pearl production and documented the rich potential of its coasts in supplying the world with premium-quality pearls, while also spotlighting the traditional pearl-diving industry as an integral element of the UAE's rich heritage.
