Falconry is an ancient tradition in the Arabian Gulf. Practiced initially for hunting, it has evolved into a cherished sport that upholds specific customs and traditions.

Falcons, admired for their beauty and strength, symbolize pride in Gulf culture. Engaging in falconry fosters a connection to the region's heritage. Viewed as symbols of bravery and loyalty, this beloved sport not only preserves important traditions but also highlights their lasting significance in Arab identity.

This event is a collaboration between CMU-Q Library and Prof. Ezzohra Moufid and aims to provide our community with an opportunity to explore the symbolism of falcons in Arabic culture and their link to Qatari identity, highlighting values like courage, resilience, and wisdom as represented in cultural traditions and narratives.
