On a warm October morning, a curious traveler wandered into a small heritage house nestled within the Al Shindagha Historical District. Expecting only dusty relics and dry plaques, she instead found herself pulled into a vivid tapestry of stories: pearl divers' songs echoing through the walls, incense wafting from antique burners, and the tale of a bustling city that once ruled trade across the Gulf. That traveler left changed-enchanted not just by the city's beauty, but by its soul.
