Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul, was passionate about the sport of falconry, and it was the hobby closest to his heart, and he was keen to practice it inside and outside the state, despite the multiplicity of his concerns and responsibilities, but he managed with his wisdom and innate intelligence to convert the times of hawk to a way to consolidate His relationship with the officials in the state, turning the “sniper” into an open meeting away from the official atmosphere of discussion in the affairs of the state and governance, exchange opinions and listening to personalities working in various fields to identify all views.
| • Zayed loved sniping, and he came out with those who were older than him until he learned from them. |
Sheikh Zayed talks about his association with this sport in the book “The History of Falcon Falcon”: “A time ago, I was about 12 years old. Anything else. A time has passed since learning the origins of fishing and its arts, at this time I preferred to hunt with the falcon over what was other than it, and I took off the use of the gun in animal hunting. ”
He also said, may God have mercy on him: “This sport represents a way to get rid of the daily workers and the self -evident work, as well as its importance in acquiring physical and social skills.”
