The hunter

Bilal, a 50-year-old falconer, poses with kestrel, that's used to hunt falcons and eagles. Falconry, a traditional sport with roots in ancient Egypt, where the falcon symbolized divinity and protection, is not as common as it once was. However, the legacy of the falcon lives on in modern Egypt, as seen in the eagle symbol on the national flag, representing unity and pride in the country's history.
