Emirates consider falcons as a symbol of Pride and Heredity 


Beduin in The United Arab Emirates and the wider Arabian Peninsula have been practicing falconry and carrying it from generation after generation. This was mainly practiced as an important form of hunting in the desert. 

Today Falconry is one of UAE's most honored sports as it has a strong link to heritage, courage, culture, and strength.

Hunting with falcons is banned in UAE however, the sport is widely practiced. 
Eager to preserve the traditional and cultural heritage of falconry, the UAE's royal families are taking steps to keep falconry alive and thrive for the younger generation of emirates. 

There are many programs that release wild falcons back to nature such as the Sheikh Zayed Falcon Release Programme, where the medical inspection is done by the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital. By rehabilitating those wild falcons for release.

I'm excited to share with you the gifts I received from my sister on Eid, they were all handmade with love and we thoroughly enjoyed making them for each other!    This gesture was inspired due to  Crafty Muslimahs , we really admire how they make handmade gifts for each other for Eid.   Making these crafts took a month or so - we didn't expect to make so much for each other, however we found it pretty addictive to make the gifts, and the best part was we did not show each other our gifts, it was definitely hard to keep it secretive until Eid, but we did it! One gift a day, made with the labour of love added to 13 in all! As the saying goes : " A little progress everyday adds up to BIG RESULTS! " Today is part 1 and I'll be sharing you the gifts I received from my sister! So here's an overlook at all the gifts my sister gave me on Eid!      ( I can't believe the am
