History of the Emirates

Season 1 Episode 2: Mastering the Ocean

We tell the remarkable story of how ancient people here used their unique location on the Gulf to find precious resources and forge trading links with the world. From the ancient free-divers who risked their lives to harvest pearls from the seabed, to the merchants who supplied history’s greatest civilisations, from Rome to China.
