Souq Waqif
Falcon Souq
Falconry is UNESCO-listed intangible heritage here, not a tourist gimmick, and this souq is where the equipment — hoods, gloves, tethers — is still made and sold by hand. The attached hospital, with surgical facilities for the birds, tells you how seriously the tradition is still taken.
