- In Dubai, falcons are a symbol of strength and patriotism. For Hamdan Ahmed Bin Mujrin, falcons also represent a family tradition. He comes from a long line of champion falconers who have passed down the skill of caring for and training these mighty birds. Now, he’s using new high-tech tools to advance the sport and pass on his passion to his son.

I got athete feet from my dad.
Absolutely beautiful. I hope that your children do appreciate this heritage and retain their love of falconry.
thank you so much !
@@user-bb9sl6cu7i My pleasure.. Can I ask you, is their a reason for the all white headress men wear as opposed to the shemagh with agal? I'm trying to educate myself.
Hello
@@danaleelavelle3708 lucky you i saw that reply by mistake. Im a GCC citizen and went on a scholarship to the US for almost 8 years. When I came back, once the airport door opened. The heat I felt was like putting my hand in a running oven. I knew it right then how westerners feel when they come to the GCC, and obviously, I lost my resistance to heat!
So after a while, I started to understand why they wear the thobe, which is the long white robe, and also the white headscart. It is just impractical to wear jeans and western clothes under that sun. Also retaining facial hair, many Arabs retain facial hair when compared to westerners, I discovered later that dust, sand storms, direct sun light, destroy the skin like no other. Keeping facial hair will offer some kind of protection while if you ask many of them, they'll just say, we keep facial hair as a tradition.
For your question, the white color is the primary color for sun reasons. However, the Saudi's in specific wear a one that looks like a table cloth. These were adopted from the british explorers and Americans who came to Saudi and later on were adjusted a bit in design so they don't look exactly like the table cloth. Stylish reasons. As for the setup of it, either by doing a tie on the head or wrapping it like a hijab around the face, it indicates readiness and the will to move and flex around when compared to the relaxed shemagh iqal which requires one to stay calm, put and not move alot. Depends on the social event one is in. Hopefully i did my best to explain to you.
Salam o alikum
So beautiful. I hope this incredible tradition never dies. You can see how much they treasure the birds ❤️
I LOVE that his son wants to be a falconer.
Wow great story
Great you are so nice man
the cutest kid. "i love the birds so much!" my heart
In the US, we say I love my phone so much. But after a year, we changed to a new one.
This is so beautiful. Masha Allah.
A Guy who lives in the UAE who's not a foreigner?What a Surprise!
HCN you don't see the locals we hide alot hahaha
Same as germany. The land of foreigners
Considering only Indians they make 52% of population there...
"I like birds" too cute omg
noble heart is treating nature with great respect ❤ they are so perfect together
He eats beef by killing animals.
this is how the real Arab Gulf looks like ..
Yep brown and hairy
More like handsome and manly jealousy is a serious disease.
What were you think
@@ChromeMan04 that’s kind a racist
@@ChromeMan04 yeah so?
These birds are majestic!
Love from Pakistan💖💖
I'm a Pigeoner but also deeeeep Lover of Falcons You have Pretty nice birds Sheikh.....
The surge of Dubai being a tourist destination has only been a recent change in the UAE's culture. These parts of their heritage is what makes up the true UAE culture. Amazing video!
dang what a good looking guy
I was gonna say. All garbed in this untouched pristine white robe with a face that could fuck my daughter for all I care. AND he's like some sorta falcon master?
@@aiyalidat dumbass
Good here also
I didn't notice😳
He keeps slaves. Also, he believes in killing all non Muskims.
i love arab men. they are so masculine, polite and fearless with impeccable manners.
@Yáhuar Huácac Bit** we created cities out of deserts so don't dare talk about our menhood
Luca206 lmao every female in this planet wish she was in an arab country especially gulf countries
you just love their money
"impeccable manners". LOL most of them are assholes and rude to foreigners. you don't believe us? Go to middle east.
@@rollothewalker5535
You have much experience?
Great to see this Gentleman adapt his training using latest technology and also have his succession plan in place! Bravo.
This is an amazing family legacy. A young boy learning from his father and uncles, who learned from their father, and so on. I hope the young Rashid will continue to enjoy his life with birds. How lucky to learn about birds in the open air! Also, those birds are beautiful, they must be lovingly looked after. Well done to this family & many blessings to your wonderful heritage. 🙏🏽
What an amazing and awesome experience for sure. One of the greatest things in life you can do is be one with nature. The knowledge and Communication with which a creature is magnificent. An ancient tradition past by generations.
Fascinating, such majestic and beautiful creatures
A wonderful story of tradition that describes the deep love and connection to the falcons.
Thanks.
I love Dubai's falcons and I will be living in dubai
Imagine getting a falcon as a 4 year old, it'd be the best day of my life too
just watched assassin's creed and think that looked like there some connection.
NO matter how rich they are, i believe they will continue to love this hoppy ☺️🌷✌🏻
I want one
So I can play with it
So cute
And hunt with it
Very nice bird
Much pat
Very train
Now that's what I call respectable sport
& they're probably rich as fuck too
A very lovely video its so nice to see family together with nature peace and love
That white falcon was so beautiful
If I even get a chance to visit Dubai I’ll look out for an area where people train these birds so I can admire them.
Awesome Video. I saw these birds at many places in Dubai including the Desert safari area. Wonderful.
the story is great. the man is so cool.
and my wallet is crying seeing their royalty :"
Wow, this was a very good and interesting video!
Amazing
Mash'Allah, my Allah bless UAE
I am from a different country & i don't know why i love this tradition.
& I want a falcon so bad but this tradition isn't available in my country.
Pidgeot used aerial ace, its super effective!
Cant wait to start this as my primary sport Sailing And Falconry.
Mash Allah. Such amazing creatures
What a great video thanks for the insight into a part of your heritage. It's sad that too many American boys and girls are raised without a father to instill values and give guidance to them. I think if most had a sense of direction they would not resort to violence and drugs. If they were guided into something positive be it playing a sport or a musical instrument or how to interact with animals(horses, livestock, dogs, etc) these kids would grow up to be exceptional people. Thank you for this video.
I loved when they can live with their passion :)
dope video!
Handsome man
love from Saudi❤️
Good looking man and cute son.
very interesting. All animals should be loved so much as you love your falcons.
How long have you been in falconry? Just wondering I have been fascinated about this from when I was 9 years old but my family wouldn’t let me try it but I still love to watch videos of falconry.
These guys be training falcons out here and I’m still scared to train my love bird
I am buying my pet falcon next year and Naming it Heru!
the arabia's legendary with their countries and names,it's different than ours.
beautiful falcons
Just Hamdan from Dubai? "our" country... Hamdan the Crown prince of Dubai? That Hamdan? That is why you can afford hundreds of falcons.
Very beautiful Tradition held trough generations of family. Love this video. So much crap is always shown from UAE, like spoiled brats with their cars and luxury shit and all that braggery for nothing. Keep the Tradition.
Honestly. The culture and people are much more simple. We are not all those rich spoiled kids. Most of us just enjoy our holidays in the desert around the animels and gathering to see family and our farms, those things mean the world to us not some cars and brands.
@@mydogsteppedona4431 i am very aware of that. what i wanted to say is, what is more shown over social media.
Beautiful.Birds. I love. I want to. I have calopsitas.kk. But are my friends. I like of animals. Very good.
Wow..now, i want a falcon so badly..
الله يقويك و يقوي عيالك
Nice video, good luck for this small boy
I love hawks it's my wish that one day I get hawk I really wish that some hawk for mine
@@theperson1816 Never forget ❤️
This is so royal💟💟💟💟
Husnaj Zahan nothing is royal. . just waisting thier time.. No any arabs things how to produce uses item in market. And manufacturing all necessary equipment.. Just depend on oil and tourism. And become lasy
That's what royal family do..i guess everyone dreams of such lavish lifestyle.. they are lucky that they don't have to live hectic life of middle class or poor people... Yes, the one thing I don't like about them is they have power and money still they are not concerned about Syria.
Wow! Wonderful creatures of Power & Might. "I am the guiding Light that illumineth the way. I am the royal Falcon on the arm of the Almighty. I unfold the drooping wings of every broken bird and start it on its flight." ~ Baha'u'llah, Baha'i Prayer
Good, From, Bangalla, Dash 🇧🇩🙋
Very true story !
God loves you so much❤
Bravo men...
I would like to apply as the RC plane pilot....
Amazing falcons
Great , I wish I get falcon to train 😍
Beautiful video
Arabs are so much into falconry, that God made extra rulings issueing it in the quran. Surah al Maida explains that animals hunted by birds of pray are halal, so long the animal itself is halal.
From a worldly perspective, its just a beautiful art which is flawlessly preserved by the arabian people.
Fyi I want to make this clear, not all of us own falcons. Their expensive and needs alot of attentions. Some arabs own arabian horses and thats passed down, some pass down arabian eagles, hunting etc and some like me are just badween kids who own sheep and camels and palm trees. Basically we are farmers and providers. Not all of us have eagles and horses, alot of us get those things passed down again because their expensive (their usually passed down). Badweens learn to hunt what is in the desert but that is a thing of the past now.
So its either one if the two, you are rich and can own those animals and learn how to hunt and ride them or your the children who got passed down those things.
Nice birds nice family man too
Lovely message saying that💕💋
I missed you so so so much💕💋
Prince Hamdan golden heart💕💋
Very good info thanks habini
The background music😩 idk why I like so much
Wow......subhan allah
wow, sorry GBS will no more produce video stories. what camera and/or lens would they be using to capture the clarity of these extremely quick birds? can anyone let me know.
It’s a status symbol for the Arab elite to have a trained falcon. This guys 80 falcons are worth in the millions with some single falcons going into the hundreds of thousands so that a prince or royal member can brag that he has the best falcon. Just like the car license plates out there that contain minimal or unique numbers, they go for big bucks to mainly show off that the person is a big shot
InshaAllah i will Master this Falconerism
I loved this video and one more thing I really love folcan, they are my favourite birds, and I subscribe your video, and I did not forget the like button, i'm sure it check more of your videos 😊😊😀
Sake,Hamdan👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I love falcons
*I Love Eagle*
Not all of generation is going to want to do that
This is an ancient Islamic science we can talk to almost anything using the Quran and Positive vibrations
Wow! This is SO COOL!!
I love falconry
Love this so much! Thanks for sharing
Will you teach me sir
Big fan from India
2:18 What is on its face?
Arabella Tan
That's cover his eyes to don't hurt itself or the falconer.... And also to make the falcons calm down once the time falconry the take out the cover so the falcon knows it's time of hunting
Thank you for sharing
It's so cute and also the story which i heard ,, I'm such a big fan of eagle but i don't have cause i can't afford to buy.
So if u offer me one of your eagle it will be a big pleasure for me😊
I love animals and birds but my parents are not allowing me to keep them becoz the Yb say that if see animals and birds i won't study so my favorite falcons and sheep
Even Falcons live in dubai
So super cool.
I love the aegle
@Call of Duty WWII GAMER and the spelling is “eagle”
please tell me some easy trap for catch hawk please please please
I live in the UAE!
Awesome video .
Imagine a dubai falcon fighting a bald eagle
Falcon would die in an instance
@@ChromeMan04 nah bro, the Arabs would weaponize it with gold guns haha
ChromeMan04 no falcons are faster
Now it’s a hobby but I would be curious if it was not borne from necessity for his ancestors
im gonna go in dubai but it will take so long
I'm a licensed falconer and it's amazing to be a sport 3500 years old
