Overview

As an integral part of desert life in Arabia, falconry goes back more than 2,000 years ago and is still extremely important to the heritage of Dubai. This is a unique opportunity to observe the world’s best-trained falcons and other birds of prey in an authentic setting in a Royal desert retreat. During this interactive falconry and birds of prey experience, our professional falconers will guide you through both ancient and modern training techniques.

After this spectacular interactive experience, enjoy a delicious breakfast in our authentic desert camps before embarking on an adventurous wildlife drive in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the UAE’s first and largest national park. You will get to spot and learn about some of the iconic desert dwellers such as the Arabian Oryx from a vintage Land Rover.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the morning falconry and nature desert safari today. Everything from pre trip information/confirmation, pick up and knowledgeable and very caring staff throughout highlights what a quality company you have booked with. I cannot recommend the falconry element highly enough. 4 beautiful birds were shown, up and personal, with ample opportunity to ask questions and take pictures. We got to fly three of them, such a rare insight into a very historic element of life in the area. Loved it. The breakfast was a delight too, beautifully fresh and authentic and served in a gorgeous tented camp. A camel ride came next. It was brief and the handler did not offer any information but answered any questions very happily. And then we had a drive out into the conservation area. We saw gazelles and oryx and just how vast and peaceful the desert is. But equally, by the time the sun was coming up, what a hard environment to live in. The vintage Land Rover was a great vehicle to travel in, and was surprisingly comfortable. The very lovely scarves our guide kindly tied for us prior to the trip helped with wayward hair! We got to keep them and a really nice metal water bottle. I hoped it would be a great trip and it was. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you especially to our guide Houston. He really made the trip. If I came back to Dubai, I would book it again.

We enjoyed every aspect of this trip. It was well organised and each feature was well planned and very interesting. Mauricio, our guide, the falconer and the men in charge of the camels could not be faulted. We highly recommend this trip

If you’re looking to experience the Arabian desert at sunrise and witness the beauty of magnificent raptors, this is the tour you don’t want to pass on. Well communicated pickup times and instructions, excellent door to door service, and a memorable nature experience made this a perfect way to begin a week in Dubai.

Good trip. Early start from hotel (6am) but had our guide Duncan who made the drive interesting. The falconry part was excellent & the whole trip was an enjoyable way to get out of the city for a bit.
