Diving for treasure

How Far Can Your Imagination Take You Under The Sea?

In this immersive workshop, students will meet Abdullah, a lively puppet, who will share his adventures as a pearl diver and take our young audience on a journey in search of treasure. Through a series of games and funny interactions, Abdullah’s story will have students dive into the imaginary sea, where they will go on their own adventure in search of precious pearls while learning all about pearling and its historical connection to the UAE.
