highlight of my trip to Abu Dhabi the tour is a must do. So interesring and to see these Falcons up close is amazing. Falcon in the photo is not hurt just sleeping whilst they had their nails cut.
This was a highlight of my trip to Abu Dhabi. It's incredible to see close and personal these amazing birds and much more. The tour is fantastic and you'll be able to see what's going on behind the close doors - literally. Everyone was soooo friendly and willing to explain procedures and answer our questions. What a spectacular facility and very, very unique experience. Besides holding and patting the birds, I was able to feed one as well. What a great memories I'll have. Highly highly recommend visiting this place, besides the falcons you'll enjoy the free roaming peacocks as well ;)
This was a really cool experience! I wasn’t very familiar with falcons and the connection between UAE and these beautiful birds. Well, let me tell you, after spending 90 min with the staff during their tour, I walked out of there with so much respect and information, memories and things I’ve learned I will never forget! Please go check it out! What a great way to support a great organization that helps and supports so many animals in need! Absolutely beautiful! Totally worth it! Ask for Hassan being your guide!!
Absolutely worth the extra effort to get there. We were the only guests on this tour of a working falcon hospital. The doctors clearly want to share their love of these birds. This is not a tourist trap we spent about 1 1/2 hours on the tour and were able to hold them, and feed the falcons. We came home with a real experience and as many photos as you want to take. There is a small museum of falcon culture, accoutrements, and history. The facility also cares for a limited number of other birds of prey such as owls. Do allow extra time as the taxi driver missed the exit, but the facility has to be far away from power lines to protect the birds in flight.
While it may be a bit difficult getting to this attraction with all the road construction in the area, and detours...just allow yourself a little extra time to arrive. The tour of the hospital was really amazing, fun, and informative. It is good for all ages. Seeing these amazing creatures being cared for was insightful. The tour took us about 90 minutes and included an introduction, a chance to see the falcons in the clinic, time to hold a falcon on your gloved arm for a photo, and a visit to see them in an aviary.
