The falcon show up close
Saker falcons fly from a handler's glove, circle the camp at 30-50 meters altitude, and return on command. This is genuine hunting training.
Respecting the tradition
Take photos of the camp freely. If photographing a Bedouin elder, ask first. Women traveling solo are welcome and safe.
