Featuring skilled falconers competing in the historic Al-Talwah challenge, the falcon race competition at the Liwa International Festival shows the birds achieving exceptional speed and precision in catching their prey. This ancient tradition is enhanced by modern technology, with electronic devices tracking each falcon’s performance for accurate results. Held over three days, Day 1 showcases Farkh (young falcons—typically under one year old) owners competing, while professionals and Farkh take center stage on Days 2 and 3. Each race tests the training of the falcon and the expertise of its handler, highlighting the deep bond between them. Set against the stunning desert backdrop of Liwa’s dunes, the event celebrates the UAE’s rich cultural heritage in falconry.
