Khan and Muhammad were awesome guides. From pickup point to breakfast and drop off, they not only taught us about the falcons but about Dubai in general. Interacting with the birds was awesome and they do a great job of capturing the experience. Highly recommend this unique opportunity?

Our pick was early, always a good start. Great transport and friendly guide, Khan, who stopped off first at the camel racing circuit. We have never seen so many camels in one place, all waiting for their early exercise. A quick view of the track, start and finish line and then off to the hawks. There were only four in our group and we got to experience 6 different birds, peregrine, Harris hawk, eagle and owls. We got to have them on the glove and they flew to us to eat. A really up close and personal experience, Khan was excellent throughout supported by Mubarak. Thank you for the experience.

What an amazing experience like no other. Not only to see the birds (who were of course, the stars of the show!) But also to see, experience and learn so many other things n addition to this. The early start was so worth it and lovely to start out before sunrise and still feel the cool of the desert before the sun comes up. Mohammed (or “Hammy”) our guide was amazing. A lovely, polite, friendly and very knowledgable man with a great sense of humour, whose enthusiasm for falconry was infectious. He stopped for us to see the (very calm and quiet) camels while they were getting ready to race, then we listened to a very beautiful and enigmatic call to prayer. The Mosque was very close to the track and we stopped whilst he went (briefly) into the mosque to pray. It was fantastic to see another religion and culture and how their practice works in day to day living. We saw oryx, gazelles and a plethora of hot air balloons 😀 along the way to a lovely little desert oasis where the birds of prey were waiting. It was very cold (take a jacket) and walking with the freezing cold sand running through our open toe shoes definitely woke us up ! Then lovely Arabic coffee and dates sitting on Killeems/Arabic rug was wonderful. The two other men who were helping were also lovely and it was very moving to see how much they all loved and respected the birds. When we got to feed, handle and fly these beautiful creatures Mohammed (plus colleagues) explained very calmly and clearly exactly what we needed to do. We learnt so much information about each of the birds (two different types of owl, a geo falcon, harris hawk and desert eagle) and how they differ in habits, learning and “personality”. We got plenty of time to handle them and also to do some very clever tricks, such as flying through our arms outstretch above our heads. The whole experience was the best thing we did whilst in Dubai. There are many fantastic experiences you can have here, but to us, The Burj Kalifha, Dubai Mall and all the other things pale into comparison with this excursion. And a really big thank you to Mohammed. You are “simply the best” .

We stayed one week in Dubai and this was the best part of our trip. With Amin and Muhammad we had the best tour guides and falconry pros you can get. So many informations. So friendly. And being so near to these wonderful birds was outstanding. We took a lot of wonderful memories and pictures with us and will never forget this morning in the desert.

Fantastic experience. Khan was our falconer & guide. His expertise & knowledge was excellent. He was assisted with the birds by Mohamed who was also good. Khan made the experience a pleasure and highlight of our trip. He also was a great photographer! Highly recommend. A++++
