EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Emirati Mohammed Rakan Bin Harwon Al-Qubassiy stands in awe as his falcon takes flight against the stunning backdrop of the Liwa desert, located 220 kilometers west of Abu Dhabi. The moment captured on December 21,2013, during the Mazayin Dhafra Camel Festival showcases the deep-rooted tradition of falconry in the United Arab Emirates. As one of the highlights of this festival that draws participants from across the Gulf region, falconry represents a cherished aspect of Emirati culture and heritage. With its roots dating back centuries, this ancient practice symbolizes nobility and prestige among locals. The image beautifully illustrates the harmonious relationship between man and bird as they engage in a timeless dance amidst nature's vast expanse. The golden hues cast by the setting sun create an ethereal glow around both man and bird, enhancing their silhouettes against the mesmerizing desert landscape. The backlighting adds an element of drama to this already breathtaking scene. Beyond showcasing traditional practices like camel beauty contests and UAE handcrafts display, events such as these are instrumental in promoting Emirati folklore to both local residents and international visitors alike. This photograph serves as a testament to not only preserving cultural traditions but also celebrating them with pride. Photographer Karim Sahib has masterfully captured a fleeting moment that encapsulates history, tradition, and natural beauty all at once—a true work of art that immortalizes an age-old
