Hatem Murad, owner of Abu Murad Falcon Farm in Slovakia, credited the Saudi Falcons Club for the success of last year's International Falcon Breeders Auction, saying that it provided excellent facilities for participating breeders and falconers. Murad said that he is taking part in this year's International Falcon Breeders Auction with 10 falcons; in the previous edition he sold seven, or 80%, of his falcons. His falcons are priced between SAR10,000 and SAR20,000, which, he says, falconry enthusiasts can afford. Murad also said that the Saudi Falcons Club has given him the opportunity to connect with experienced Saudi and international falcon breeders, which enabled him to explore investment opportunities in the Kingdom, Europe, America, and the Gulf. The International Falcon Breeders Auction is held at the Saudi Falcons Club headquarters in Malham, north of Riyadh, from August 5 to 24. Source: Saudi Press Agency
