In the 18th and 19th century, pearl trade was the main source of income in the Gulf region. One of the main centres for this industry was located in Qatar, in the town of Al-Zubara. Now, archaeologists are trying to reveal the rest of Al-Zubara lying beneath the sand.
"Pearl of the Past" is a documentary of the only completely remaining pearling settlement in the world, which was the economic and business centre of the Qatari peninsula 200 years ago.
Yaser Al-Huthi and Tobias Stößel search under the sand of Al-Zuabrah the past of Qatar. They show the contrast to the new modern life. With this movie, Qatar will become a world heritage sight.
