Falcons

From Alhannah

The animal market and falconry souq is located behind the Central Markets just off the Salwah Road. The animal markets trade in camels and sheep as well as in chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, caged birds and domestic pets. Fodder and grain are also sold here, the huge cylindrical bales of straw mostly imported by trailer from Saudi Arabia.

An interesting travel note: Falcons are the only live animal Qatar Airways will allow in the main cabin. Occasionally you will see falcons being carried through the airport.
