Elite UAE residents are known for their lavish lifestyles. In this Middle Eastern haven of opulence, it is not uncommon for affluent individuals to keep exotic animals as pets. Much like their owners, these animals also bask in luxury. Now, imagine you are flying on an aeroplane and find a pet falcon accompanying an Emirati man inside the cabin. If that was not bizarre enough, the bird also has its very own passport. A video showcasing this unbelievable phenomenon has now gone viral on Instagram.

The video opens to an interesting exchange between a curious passenger and the Emirati man at an Abu Dhabi airport. The UAE-resident, clad in traditional white attire, can be seen holding a falcon, perched gracefully on his arm. Gripped by intrigue, the passenger asks, “Is it flying (with us)?” To this, the Emirati resident replies, “Yeah, of course it is flying with us in the plane.”
The duo's brief conversation reveals that the falcon owner was jetting off to Morocco. When the passenger questioned whether the bird had any form of identification, the UAE national casually showed him a “Falcon passport”. It came with all the details of the bird — its gender, origin, and all the destinations visited before. “He's a male. He's from Spain,” reads the man from the passport. “This is extraordinary,” he said, clearly in disbelief.

“Is there a picture in the passport?” wondered an individual.
Here's another remark, “Heh is a real CRAZY RICH PERSON. And they are focused only on their lives.”
