The Evolution of Gulf Falconry

#NYUAD Institute #Falconry #NYUAD The Evolution of Gulf Falconry NYUAD Institute It would be virtually impossible to make a study of modern Emirati culture without uncovering the popular mythologies surrounding falcons. Falcons and falconry are essential and visible cornerstones of cultural identity in the Emirates. How did they get there? And, perhaps more importantly, where are they going?
