High standard
Ms. Suad Ibrahim Darwish, Director of Championships at HHC, said the high level of performance during the first two days of the competition reflected the eagerness of the falconers to vie for glory in the season finale.

“The falconers are not only preserving the rich cultural heritage of the country by participating in traditional sports such as falconry but taking it to a different level by maintaining a high level of consistency. There is very little difference in the performance of the top falconers and some of the times produced by the falcons during qualifying have been mind boggling which augurs well for an exciting final round,' she said.
