Paris: Arab Week at UNESCO, an initiative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, showcased a falconry display to a diverse audience of intellectuals, diplomats, and officials from the permanent delegations of Arab nations at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris today. This event celebrated the Kingdom's rich heritage and highlighted its authentic culture and history, allowing visitors to explore various types of falcons. According to Saudi Press Agency, during Arab Week at UNESCO, falconer Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Nuwaibat discussed falcon life, covering topics such as breeding, behaviour, migration, and physical capabilities. He emphasized that Arabs have long been pioneers in using free-flying falcons for hunting. With the Kingdom's increasing openness to the world, several new types of falcons have been imported, including hybrid falcons that combine the strong traits of different species.
