camels

Hard to imagine the Arabian Peninsula without its dromedaries ... A true regional icon, the dromedary has always accompanied the Bedouins in their long treks through the parched lands and seas of sand. Conscious of its essential role, they used to call it Ata Allah, "gift of God"!

The camel provided everything: the means of transport of men and goods, the meat during the festivities (rich in proteins), the milk (up to 15 liters per day!), The leather to make bags, the hair used to weave carpets and capes ...

If 4x4 and the explosion of the consumer society have put them at the leisure level, dromedaries still carry the fervor of the public every Friday, from November to February, the race course of Al Shahaniya, located 1 hour drive west of Doha. The season ends in March or April with the grand prix of the emir - during which the winner, among more than 6,000 engaged, is awarded the golden saber of his excellence. Gold and silver daggers reward the other finalists.

In the early 2000s, a scandal almost ended the races throughout the Arabian Peninsula, when we saw in the West that the jockeys were other than very young children, generally between 4 and 10 years old. years. The problem is now "settled": they are robots-jockeys (at $ 6,000 each) that drift the ships of the desert! This sport not-like-the-others is certainly not within the reach of all the purses: if a camel intended for the abattoir is worth little more than 3000 rials, the stars of the races can reach a price of 1, 2 or even 3 million.

Falconry and hawk hunting

Another legacy of past life, falcon hunting is still practiced with passion in Qatar. Traditionally, birds were captured in the fall, during their southward migration from Russia, and trained in a few weeks before the bustards - their favorite prey - landed in their turn. Capable of bringing hares and even young gazelles, they were released in the spring and returned to the north with their fellow travelers. Two species were particularly sought after: the peregrine falcon (shaheen) and the sacred hawk (hurr).

Like camel racing, falconry has entered the 21st century. Falcons, now bred in captivity, are equipped with radio transmitters so as not to be lost and possess their passports to prevent theft and trafficking.

In Doha, at the back of Souq Waqif, the nearby falcon souk with a state-of-the-art hospital falcon, employing around thirty specialists, heals all the sores, big and small. Treatments are even subsidized by the state! Hunting is being done more and more abroad, as bustards have almost disappeared from Qatar.

A big international falconry festival is organized in January. Since 2012, this activity has been classified as Intangible World Heritage by UNESCO.

Perfume

While the air conditioning of shopping centers has largely replaced the fragrant scent of the markets of yesteryear, the taste of Qataris for perfumes and spices remains - which are still on sale at the Waqif and Omani souks.

Frankincense and myrrh, mainly from the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula (Oman and Yemen especially) are burned to perfume the interiors, clothing and vehicle interiors - electric burners that can be connected to the cigarette lighter were invented for this purpose! The aoud, the Agarwood (or calambac), is the most sought after for its richness in very fragrant resin. It can be worth a small fortune.

If not, some fall back on the bokhur balls, made of agar residues, sandalwood and rosewood oils, ambergris and white musk.

Good manners

In this country of ultraconservative Muslim tradition, banish short clothing and low-cut. Swimwear should not exceed the hotel pool. The marks of affection in the couple, even married, are also to be avoided.

If you were to be in Qatar during Ramadan, respect the ban on drinking, eating, smoking or chewing gum in public during the day. All this remains possible provided that it is hidden from view.
