Bird shop in Falcon Souq, Doha, Qatar
About
On my way to Dubai I stayed in Doha for a couple of nights to break up the journey and explore a little. It wasn't until I arrived that I noticed they have a thing for birds, especially Falcons! The Falcon is the national bird of Qatar and at the Falcon Souq in Doha there are few shops specialising in Falconry. There is even a Falcon hospital located nearby you can visit.
The birds in this shop ranged in price from around £500 to £3000 depending on age and breed. They can live up to three years but it depends on lifestyle and how well they are looked after. We were not his usual Monday morning customers but the shop keeper was welcoming and happy to talk to tourists.
