means Falcon in English. The falcon is Qatar’s national bird, which is highly appreciated and loved in Arabic countries. The Falcon is related to heritage and culture, and it represents courage and dignity. In Qatar, there are 6 different kinds of falcons; the Amur falcon, Sooty falcon, Lanner falcon, Saqr falcon, Peregrine falcon, and the Barbary falcon. The falcon is a very important bird in Qatar as it had been used as a hunting tool because of its sharp eyesight, and is associated with being noble and wealthy. It is a popular bird but has to be cared for appropriately and undergo intensive training. Falconry is an integral part of the heritage and culture of Qatar with falconers forming a very special bond with their falcons. In 2012, a hunting competition was founded; Al Galayel.
