To make the contest even more exciting, Ooredoo will also be providing next-generation M2M technology, so that contestants can easily track their falcons using innovative GSM/GPS technology.
Talking about the event, Manar Khalifa Al Muraikhi, Director of PR and Corporate Communications, Ooredoo Qatar, said: 'Ooredoo is proud to once again be supporting such an important event in Qatar's cultural calendar. The Al-Galayel tournament is an amazing opportunity for families to teach their children about the traditional skills of hunting, as well as see the beauty of Qatar's deserts,.
According to the Al-Galayel tournament organisers, the event welcomes a cross-section of hunting teams from all over the region, and plays a key role in Qatar's conservation.
During the tournament, pre-approved animals are marked by the organising committee to distinguish from those animals that are protected in the nature reservation.
