Highly recommended
My expectations going it to this were fairly low - I expected a very shallow dive into the hospital and not to learn much. I was wrong - the hospital visit is amazing and well worth a visit for the substantial learning you will experience about their work and the animals. There is a small somewhat unremarkable giftshop but you will need cash (dirhams or USD) as they do not accept credit cards. A few notes: What you are paying for here is basically a driver to take you from Abu Dhabi to the hospital and back. He does not give the tour or attend it, he just buys your ticket and gets you there. Also note that there is a little walking and quite a lot of standing around, so if that is difficult for you discuss with the actual tour guide what your options are.
Response from the operator: Dear Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to leave us a five-star rating! We’re thrilled that you had a positive experience with us. If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We look forward to serving you again in the future!

Very nice experience, a highlight!
The tour was a highlight, very interesting and informative. We never thought we'd see so many hawks. In the case of a falcon we were allowed to witness the foot care, could look at it closely and everything was explained. Holding the Falcon was an experience. We were also allowed to visit the aerodrome, where the falcons fly around and you are in the middle of it. The staff was very friendly and helpful in organising a taxi, thank you very much! We can highly recommend the tour.
Response from the operator: Wir fühlen uns durch Ihre wunderbare Bewertung geehrt. Ihre Zufriedenheit ist unser oberstes Ziel und wir freuen uns, dass wir Ihnen damit einen Erfolg beschert haben. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!

A wonderful animal experience.
Wow! The reviews said this was worth it and they were 100% correct. This was a little bit outside of town, but such a great experience. Our guide Hasan was passionate and charming. So many falcons here to see. Lots of education and explanation and up close experience with these birds. We were both extremely impressed. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the 5-star rating! We are thrilled to know that you enjoyed our Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi. Your feedback motivates us to continue providing exceptional service to all our customers.

Fun & Educational for All Ages!
We had a great time and it was both fun and educational for adults and children of all ages (and anyone with teenagers knows it’s hard to please everyone). It was also clear that they really care for the animals and it is a very professional veterinary hospital. Hassan was our guide and he couldn’t have been more welcoming, kind and also hilarious (in many different languages)!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with us and look forward to serving you again soon.

Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Abu Dhabi.
How much does Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi cost?
+
Prices start at $118 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Abu Dhabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Abu Dhabi is not rushed.
Is Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Abu Dhabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi?
+
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 Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi?
+
Around 4 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 Abu Dhabi 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 Abu Dhabi and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi 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 Abu Dhabi 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 Abu Dhabi?
+
On Outty we rank every Abu Dhabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Abu Dhabi Desert Safari with Camel Ride BBQ Dinner and Live Shows, Abu Dhabi: Desert Safari with BBQ, Camel Ride & Sandboarding, Half-Day Desert Safari from Abu Dhabi. 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 Abu Dhabi?
+
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 Abu Dhabi?
+
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.
