Northern Borders Region Transforms Historic Falconry into Organized Sector

Preserving Deep-Rooted Traditions

The Northern Borders Region continues to aggressively protect its deep-rooted falconry heritage. The area serves as a primary destination for falconers across the Gulf. The region sits directly along one of the most important global migration routes for falcons.

An Organized Heritage Sector

Falconry recently transitioned from a traditional practice into a highly organized sector. This massive shift combines heritage preservation directly with strict environmental sustainability. The Saudi Falcons Club plays an absolutely central role in organizing specialized tournaments. They actively qualify professional falconers and heavily enhance the Kingdom's global standing.

Hosting the Annual Festival

The region hosts a massive annual falcon festival in the Turaif Governorate.

• The spectacular event attracts hundreds of professional falconers globally.
• More than 1,000 highly trained falcons compete in intense tournaments.
• The festival features comprehensive cultural programs for younger generations.
