Our Heritage
A Lineage Kept Alivein the Heart of Doha
From the lantern-lit lanes of Souq Waqif, our society has served Qatar's falconers for five decades. What began as a small mews beside the market has grown into a full house of expertise — breeding counsel, medicine, training and hospitality — while never surrendering the intimacy of the old ways.
- Recognised by Qatar's foremost private collections
- CITES-compliant documentation and passport services
- Master falconers trained across Qatar, Kuwait and Mongolia
- Members-only majlis and seasonal hunting expeditions
