Celebrating Qatari tradition at the airport

Another artistic display at Hamid International Airport in Doha portraying a traditional Qatari fishing boat, known as a dhow, and a falcon (hard to see but it’s toward the left end of the boat). Falconry in Qatar is a revered cultural art form and national sport with ancient Bedouin roots, symbolizing prestige and a deep connection to nature.

Inspired by an old Islamic astrolabe, posted earlier:
