The 15 most precious and famous Falcons known by amateurs of hunting in the world have attracted visitors of Souq Okaz Festival in its 8th year in Taif, where everyone rallied around the hair tent, which included types of hawks, extinct animals and birds in the Arabian Peninsula, and took souvenir photos with the Falcons: Al-Hurr, Beast, Shaheen, and Lanner and Lime.
In statements to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Hair tent supervisor, Ali bin Saeed Al-Qahtani, said that the hawks have been friends to Arabs since ancient times, and they have been their fellows in hunting trips in certain seasons of the year, explaining that the Arabs are keen on having rare falcons which are characterized by their colors, strength and speed in hunting.
He pointed out that Arabs breed falcons in suitable places and their average prices are between SR 50,000 to SR 100,000, and there are more expensive species of hawks.
