The Arabian Saluki Center participates in the Sheikh Zayed Festival under the umbrella of the Emirates Falconers’ Club, contributing to a broader celebration of Emirati heritage and desert traditions. Its presence highlights the Arabian Saluki’s historical role as a hunting companion and introduces visitors to the knowledge, skills, and care associated with the breed.
Within the Club’s heritage and educational activities, visitors are introduced to Arabian Salukis and learn about their care and traditional training practices. This approach helps families and younger generations connect with an important aspect of the UAE’s cultural identity through an accessible visitor experience.
The Center’s participation aims to strengthen appreciation of the Arabian Saluki, encourage the passing of traditional knowledge between generations, and support the Club’s commitment to preserving living heritage. The festival offers a meaningful setting to connect the breed’s place in desert life with its continued relevance in contemporary Emirati culture.
