Sporadic Diaries: Falconry - A Reading from Life in the Camel Lane - NaPodPoMo
ð Sharing a glimpse into the magical world of falconry in Arabia! ðïžâš
I had the pleasure of experiencing the fascinating tradition of falconry during my time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In a small excerpt from my book, "Life in the Camel Lane," I recount the awe-inspiring moments I spent watching the Saudi falconers with their majestic birds of prey. Here are three key takeaways from my encounter:
1ïžâ£ A Blend of Tradition and Technology: Falconry in Saudi Arabia beautifully combines ancient traditions with modern technology. The falconers I met had the most up-to-date Land Cruisers equipped with telemetry systems to track their prized birds. An intriguing mix of old and new!
2ïžâ£ A Deeply Personal Pursuit: Falconry is not just a sport, but a way of life for many Saudis. It offers a respite from busy work-life, allowing falconers to reconnect with nature and the birds they adore. It's a bond that requires patience, flexibility, and a profound understanding of the relationship between man and bird.
3ïžâ£ Bridging Cultures and Forming Connections: Falconry serves as a bridge between cultures, transcending language barriers. During my time with the falconers, I witnessed how a shared passion for falconry brought people together from different backgrounds. It showcased the willingness of the Saudi falconers to share their traditions and make others feel welcome.
