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.

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.

Luchano and Lionel We had some unforgettable moments this morning and had the chance, as a retired professional falconer , to visit the falconry and discover a beautifully held place and share Luchano's passion for these wonderful birds. Everything was perfect, the kindness of our guide , breakfast in a beautiful hotel and especially the calm and charm of the desert. Thank you for these beautiful memories
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

A very professional organization on behalf of Platinum heritage for this private safari with falconry experience. You should know that the falconry part where the raptors land on our arm is almost as long as the so-called safari part in search of gazelles and Onix. Local wildlife is limited to these two species and unidentified birds. The morning ends with an excellent breakfast in a luxurious hotel at the best of the desert with a gazelle that comes to share the end of your breakfast: magical and not just for the children! Well-organized and experienced professional experience. Namely that the safari is short and species are rare

Our journey to Dubai was highlighted by our experience with Platinum Heritage. They went above and beyond: from a powerful, interactive falcon demo, to a camel ride and gourmet breakfast, our group of 12 was impressed, inspired and extremely satisfied. We had three exceptional guides and ours, Khairi, was informative, thoughtful and friendly. We are grateful and are returning g home with great memories and tons of videos and pics.
Do not miss this fantastic opportunity

Hosam picked us up in a perfectly detaied Range Rover and took us to our Balloon adventure. He shared his incredible knowledge of the region and the people. We are still talking about the things we learned. After our balloon adventure, Hosam provided an excellent nature tour of the preserve. He was an excellent guide, and we can't say enough about his professionalism. As for the rest of the team at Platinum Heritage, they were all outstanding. Every event we participated in from the hot-air balloon to the falconry, camel ride, a gourmet breakfast, and the nature tour were perfectly orchestrated. Not a single detail was missed, and our safety, comfort, and satisfaction were clearly their top priority from beginning to end. If you have time for only one activity when you visit Dubai, make it one of the many offerings from this group. You won't be disappointed.
