I'll ask some Qataris and see if they know.<br /><br />I did find a video about it but it's from August:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2JzQRSHY1c<br /><br />Also the 2014 one had no entrance fee and it was okay to bring little kids.Glen McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120296462964981195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33947698.post-15513134890041868522014-12-27T22:06:38.849-08:002014-12-27T22:06:38.849-08:00wow loved the way you have helped with the details...wow loved the way you have helped with the details , any details for this year when its starting ? any fee ? are 4 years old and less allowed ?Chiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678080866256358170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33947698.post-1622864081536063062014-01-25T09:13:51.179-08:002014-01-25T09:13:51.179-08:00Hi David.

Do you mind if I attach 3 of your photos to the letter I will send to the people of Saskatchewan who correspond with me?

Ex-pats are no problem, I saw some there and things like the "Traditional Food" tent were clearly geared to visitors being able to try Qatari food. <br /><br />I didn't see any Qatari ladies but there were ex-pat ladies and families, no problem. One person with a falcon was even chatting with a family and letting them take pictures with his falcon. <br /><br />If it's sunny bring sunscreen and hats, the majlis-style seating is not in shade.

I really appreciate your blog and enjoy reading your posts. Do you think the falcon festival would be something a group of expats, including women, would be welcome at?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850230182020209672noreply@blogger.com
