Dubai Falconry - Falcon Training - Sheikh Buti Bin Maktoum - Dubai UAE (part two)

Shot in 2005 by Joe Conte this footage is the first in a 3 part series of Falconry footage shot of Sheikh Buti Bin Maktoum of the ruling family. It shows his training facility in the desert outside Dubai where he trains his fledgling Falcons to hunt using mini planes and mini helicopters, very cool stuff..

The Al Maktoum family descends from the Al Bu Falasah section of the Bani Yas, a highly respected and authoritative tribal federation that was the dominant power throughout most of what is now the UAE.

The Al Maktoum family's reign as rulers of Dubai began in 1833, when Sheikh Maktoum bin Buti, and around 800 tribesmen moved from Abu Dhabi. Dubai, like most settlements in the region at that time was just a small town, but the arrival of the Al Maktoum family changed that. Dubai is now one of the most vibrant cities in the world, attracting tourists and business executives from many countries.
