A fascinating introduction into all aspects of falconry, a traditional pastime throughout the Gulf Region. Al-Timimi includes a general introduction to the types of falcons found in the gulf, techniques to tame and train falcons, the methods and seasons of hunting alongside basic remedies for known diseases.

Faris Al-Timimi, a veterinary surgeon, started working with falcons at the Doha Veterinary Practice from 1981 to 2012, which was the first veterinary clinic dealing mainly with falcons in the entire Gulf region. In 2002, he moved to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to set up The Eastern Region Falcon Clinic in Al-Khobar, by the invitation and sponsorship of H.R.H. Prince Turki bin Muhammad bin Fahd Al-Saud.
