Heya Beya

Festive time in the land of Pearls.

One version of the custom:
In former times many Bahraini men were pearl divers. Death by shark attack was common for the men. The children made an offering to the sea for their fathers to return safely.

This pic of the teacher and the children heading to the beach to offer their gifts to the sea. A wonderful day out with Leanne and Bev on Al jazira beach.
