This is something to check off that bucket list we got to meet Majestic Aliya the falcon, William the hawk, Hamal the eagle and the affectionate Cercia the desart eagle owl Both Khan the handler and Gemam our guide and driver were very knowledgeable and made this a memorable experience.
This was an excellent experience that we would recommend. It was fantastic to see the wild animals then get to spend time with the birds. There was no rush meaning we got to experience each bird and its personality. Khan was great, very informative and takes the best pictures!
Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had while travelling to many different countries, Would recommend to anyone & everyone
Outstanding tour ! Had the benefit of a small group with multiple birds and a great tour guide, Khan, who had personally trained the birds. Our pics and slo-mo videos are amazing and will be lasting memories.
Great experience enhanced by our expert falconer and guide Khan. His passion with the birds shone through.
Amazing experience with a friendly, knowledgeable guide. We loved the service, the information, the breakfast. A fabulous, one of a kind experience. Highly recommended.
So good- Khan picked us up and it was non stop amazing. First we stopped at the camel races, then went into the animal reserve and saw Ornyx and antelopes wandering the desert landscape. Then we flew 5 birds Peregrene, Desert Eagle Owl, Barn Owl, Harris Hawk and An Eagle. 🦅. Then the finishing touch was the amazing private resort for breakfast. We highly recommend this tour.
Khan was the best guide we ever had. he could answer any question patiently, responded to extra requests and had a lot of background knowledge. You can tell he loves his "babies." A true animal i.e. Bird friend! wor can absolutely recommend him. Also the breakfast was 1a!
My wife, five-year-old daughter and myself really enjoyed this excursion. The 5 AM hotel pickup was a little rough (waking up early), but everything went smoothly. Our guide was personable and provided lots of information on falconry and local culture. The location was stunning, a wonderful desert nature preserve. Got up close with five birds of prey, had them fly many times to all our fists and took plenty of pictures and videos. My daughter especially loved the two owls; there was also a falcon, hawk and eagle. Definitely worth it, so glad we went!
Amazing! One of the coolest things we've ever been lucky enough to do. A once in a lifetime experience. Seriously, if you're considering doing this, do it. DO IT. The company was very responsive and easy to book with, directly. Khan was a great host - funny, informative, spoke fluent English, and took wonderful photos. And the birds - they are fascinating. The highlight of our trip to Dubai.
