Falconry Experience with Gourmet Breakfast

Jennifer D

We had an amazing experience. The tour itself was so personable, and we ourselves had decided to stay at another tour longer that day and I had reached out last min and asked if we could change our pickup location. Which they did. They picked us up at the new arrival spot on time and drove us to the desert. From the time of pick up to the end of the tour everything was so personable.We learned so much about falconry and truly had a magical day. Thank you guys for an amazing time.

We loved every minute of this experience. Sarab and Amin were our guys in the field, they were so wonderful, they made you comfortable right away and were so much fun. Your adventure begins with delicious Arabic coffee and dates, it was then time for the adventure to begin. Our raptor repertoire included; a Gyr Falcon (Wathba), Barn Owl (Shonu), Dessert Eagle Owl (Sheldon), Harris Hawk, (Salli) and a Greater Spotted Eagle (Khaima). Special thanks to Shara for assistance in putting this together, always great at responding to emails and getting information to me. If you're thinking about this tour I would say do it, you will be glad you did! The photos are amazing, thanks Sarab for some great pics and footage, I've looked at them everyday since the tour. I would also suggest breakfast at Al Maha Resort, it's only minutes away and was very good.

Thank you for an Incredible experience with Peter, Michael, and the falcons! I learned so much about the art and science of falconry, and Peter and Michael went out of their way to make sure that both the birds and I were safe and comfortable the whole time. This was a thoroughly engaging, dynamic, and meaningful experience - not some tourist bird show. Made my entire Dubai stopover worth it.

We spent an amazing morning in the desert learning about and handling birds of prey: falcons, eagles, owls and hawks. Our guide Cesar was an actual falconer, and his respect and love for the birds, as well as his deep knowledge, made for a fascinating and enjoyable morning. Unlike the very brief falconry demonstration you get on the typical Dubai desert safari, this is an in-depth, small group (in our case, 2-person) experience, which gives you an opportunity to see and interact wit the birds up close. The setting, a grove of gaf trees in a desert reserve, is magical in itself--big trees, shade, and the sounds of bird calls all around you. This experience is not cheap, and requires commitment (early morning pickup and an hour-long drive), but for us it was absolutely worth it. We give this experience our highest recommendation.

I was able to spend a very worthwhile time with three falcons, an owl and an eagle at vast and beautiful desert!! And tour guides are very kind and he taught me many things about Arab falconry and birds of prey. I really enjoyed the time!!!

This Private tour was excellent. If you want to get up close and personal with the birds then this is for you. Our tour guides Caesar and Rahim are extremely knowledgeable and have a great attitude for managing a private experience. After our interactive an informative session in the desert our tour included the breakfast at the Marriot with our reservation. This is wonderful as our tour time was chilly in the desert in the morning so a cup of coffee at the resort was welcoming.Shutout to Caesar and Rahim
