In Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, falcons have their own passports for air travel. Falconry is a deeply rooted tradition in the region, and falcons are highly valued.
The passport is a legal document that allows the birds to cross international borders for hunting trips or when their owners are transporting them. The National Center for Wildlife Development in Saudi Arabia provides an electronic service to issue passports for falcons, which helps regulate their cross-border movement. Sometimes, these valuable birds travel with their owners on airplanes.
