Dont miss out on a Hot Air Balloon experience in Dubai
We booked this via Hero Hot Air Balloon with Falcon and Fine Dining Breakfast. It was the best experience. First of all our flight got delayed. Hero / Platinum worked with us to reschedule our booking to another day. We got picked up. Very responsive and very prompt. Our Guide/Driver Maher was amazing. Very friendly, informative and took really good care of us. Our Captain Andrew for the Hot air Balloon was funny and friendly and was very experienced. The Falconer Lushano was also amazing and very experienced. He taught us a lot about falcons. The server at the fine dining Ramsi was very attentive and friendly. But main shout out to Maher. Took us from our hotel and brought us back there. Definitely and highly recommend this company.
Response from the operator: Hello eugenedB736MM, Thank you for that awesome review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours and we're happy to hear we hit the mark for you. We’re especially pleased that our team was able to support you with rescheduling after your flight delay and that the pick-up and communication were smooth and prompt. It’s fantastic to know that Maher took such great care of you throughout the journey—your special mention of him truly means a lot, and we will be sure to share your kind words with him. We’re also thrilled that you enjoyed the hot air balloon flight with Captain Andrew, the falconry experience with Lushano, and the fine dining breakfast service provided by Ramsi. Each of them will be delighted to know they contributed to making your experience memorable. Thank you for your strong recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another unforgettable experience in the future.

Exceptional Private Falconry Experience
A very special experience, made extra special by our guide, Abdul. Early morning arrival into the reserve, seeing the sun rise, and having our private falconry and owl interaction. Khaya was extremely knowledgeable as the falconer and we had the opportunity to interact with four different species. Thereafter a sumptuous breakfast, beautifully curated and served in our own private pod. Finished off with a desert safari to see gazelles and Oryx. An amazing experience overall.
Response from the operator: Hi BlueSkySA, Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private falconry experience, from the sunrise in the reserve to the close interaction with the falcons and owls. It’s especially lovely to know that Abdul and Khaya made the experience so memorable, and that you enjoyed the curated breakfast and desert safari with sightings of gazelles and oryx. Your kind words truly mean a lot to our team. We hope to welcome you back for another special desert experience in the future.

We wanted this highlight at the end of our cruise. For me, this was my cruise to retirement.
a tour that can only be recommended. An exquisite service, a fantastic falconry show, especially that we were integrated into the show and had falcons and owls on our arms ourselves. The care is simply fantastic. A tour that I would definitely recommend to everyone. the highlight of our vacation thank you
Response from the operator: Hello 533susannn, We are thrilled that you had an incredible experience with us. We always aim to provide a unique experience for our guests and we are happy to know that you really enjoyed your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $1120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai: Royal Falconry Training Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
