North Sinai fishermen await migratory birds

The article reviews the migratory bird hunting season in North Sinai, focusing specifically on quail, which begins with the migration of birds from Europe to Africa and northern Asia between August and November. The hunting season continues along the northern coast of Sinai. Hunters rely on traditional methods such as setting up vertical nets and calling to attract the birds. They camp in simple shelters on the beaches, staying overnight in anticipation of flocks passing by. Quail is a favorite food in the region, highly popular both locally and throughout the Arab world, with some of the catch being exported to other provinces. The hunting season is considered part of the rich cultural heritage of Sinai's inhabitants and contributes to boosting trade activity. However, it is essential to regulate hunting to maintain the environmental balance and preserve the natural diversity of migratory birds, over 300 species of which pass through the skies of the area.
