Abu Dhabi – Falcon Definitive Stamp Set (1965)

This attractive falcon-themed definitive issue was released by Abu Dhabi in 1965 and highlights the deep connection between falconry and the heritage of the emirate. The stamps portray detailed images of falcons, a bird closely associated with Bedouin traditions and the cultural identity of the region. Issued during the pre-UAE era, these stamps served everyday postal needs while showcasing a subject that remains an important symbol of Abu Dhabi and the wider United Arab Emirates. Today, they are considered among the classic wildlife issues of Abu Dhabi philately.
