The 14th edition of the Qatar International Falcons and Hunting Festival (Marmi 2023) will start on 1 January 2023 until 28 January 2023.

There will be two tournaments each day, 8 am and 11 am. (Please see the timetable below)

Marmi is one of the vital events organized by Al Gannas Association since the falconers' registration in the world heritage list in 2011. Within the framework of preserving the folkloric and sentimental values of this sport inherited from the Qatari ancestors, Marmi became an annual event under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al-Thani.

Al Gannas was founded in 2008. Dedicated to promoting traditional Arabic hunting
Al Gannas represents Arab hunters in international and regional contests, organising events and providing support. The association includes the best facilities and equipment required for hunting and encourages research and studies in the field.
