My husband and I really enjoyed the falcon tour. We have learned a lot during our visit, we got see many adorable falcons and even got to hold one on our arm. The team was very professional and loving towards the animals. A 10/10 hospital! Also, a big thank you to our tourguide Shino who was really helpful, went the extra mile to show us Arabian dogs as well and offered to take us all the way to Dubai for a nice price, saving us time and money :)

It was amazing learning about the importance of falcons in the local culture, the different breeds and watching lots of them. I was also amazed about the size of the one who they put in our arms.

it was a wonderful experience to stay at the Falkon Hospital. We were allowed to be there while the falcon was put under anesthesia so that it could be examined and its claws were cut. Being able to hold the falcon was so indescribable. A unique experience. A great tour with very friendly staff. We would love to come back.
