Falconry - UAE's oldest tradition and sport
A view of a Falcon, with Al Burgu on his head, made of decorated leather and covers the falcons eyes. This is due to the fact the falcons have very sharp vision acuity and the Al Burgu helps the falcon to be slowly adjusted to new environments. Falconry is UAE's oldest tradition and it dates back to 2000 years that started as a source for food, to hunt hares and houbara. It was also considered a way of life for leaders of the tribe. On Sunday, February 26, 2017, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
