Bedouin Culture Series EP 7: Salukis, The Arabian Hunting Dogs

Salukis, also known as the desert dogs are considered the world’s oldest breed of domesticated dog. Research has shown that the saluki probably emerged as a breed in ancient Mesopotamia and spread across the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates. Salukis have a similar look and build to greyhounds, with a slender body and pointed nose. Their naturally slim frame is what makes them so fast, reaching speeds up to almost 80km/h (50 miles p/h). Salukis were a big part of Bedouin culture; they were used for their brilliant hunting skills and became valuable members of Bedouin families. Nowadays, hunting is banned in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates for conservation reasons. Salukis remain cherished in Emirati culture and are still part of today’s society For more information, visit our website: http://bitly.com/2JmJCro
