A splendid morning spent learning about falconry training in Dubai
Experience a luxurious and private falconry adventure that takes you on a journey into the fascinating world of falcons and their cultural significance to the Emiratis and their heritage.

Watch in awe as the falcons swoop in the skies of the desert and a professional falconer showcases ancient and modern training techniques for hunting with falcons. Take part in the demonstration and have hawks, owls or falcons fly to your glove. The setting is one of the most exclusive and beautiful desert oasis in Dubai.

The experience gets elevated with a nature safari in a luxurious Land Rover Defender and a gourmet breakfast at the world-renowned Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa.
