Falconry is the UAE's most treasured cultural heritage, and the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital is the world's largest and most advanced falcon clinic. This guided tour offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the treatment, care, and training of these magnificent birds.
Learn how falcons are used in the wild, how their health is maintained, and why falconry has been declared a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The tour includes a walk through the free-flight area, a visit to the patient ward, and a photography session where you can hold a falcon.
Fascinating for adults and children alike — this is one of the most unique experiences available anywhere in the world.
