In the desert, a falcon can provide its owner with meat that they would be unlikely to catch on their own. Today, falconry in Qatar is more like a sport. Trainers have their falcons compete in hunts, races, and beauty events. Wealthy Qataris practice falconry for pride, fun, and education. They still believe that training a falcon can train one' s mind. But they don' t come cheap！ Prized falcons sell for as much as （or more than） a fancy car.
在沙漠中，隼可以为牠的主人提供他们自己不太可能捕捉到的兽肉。今日，驯鹰术在卡达比较像是一项运动。训练员让他们的隼于捕猎、比赛和选美活动中竞争。富有的卡达人为了自豪、乐趣和教育而放鹰狩猎。他们仍相信训练一只隼可以训练一个人的心智。但牠们并不便宜！珍贵的隼售价相当（或超过）一台高档汽车。
