    Falconry experience

    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.

    An unique 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!

    Outstanding Falcon Tour

    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.

    Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.

    How much does Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $331 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 Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari 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 Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 117 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 Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari?

    +

    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 Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari?

    +

    Around 41 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 Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari 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 Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. 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.

    What is included in Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari?

    +

    Included: Value Added Tax of 5% is already included on the prices; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Round-trip transport by air-conditioned 4x4; Breakfast at Al Maha Desert Resort (if option selected); and Private driver-guide. Not included: Food and drinks (unless specified); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari?

    +

    Is Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Falcon 1—Private Dubai Falconry Safari if the weather is bad?

    +
