Prominent businessman Hussain Alfardan’s collection of pearls are on display at Al Tawash in the Alfardan pavilion.  The gallery is not only inviting the attention of the buyers but it also has been successful in explaining the pains that the entrepreneur has undertaken over the last six decades to make each of his possessions appealing to the visitors, some of who are large scale collectors themselves. Besides an array of handcrafted ornaments, many of which should cost a buyer whopping sums, several units of raw pearls, which are popular in the region, such as “Dana”, “Dorra”, “Hasbaah”, “G-1”, “Sherine” and “Gumash” are displayed among others at the gallery. Pearls of different sizes, colours, shapes and weigh are on display.
