          Amazing experience!
          We thoroughly enjoyed the falconry experience in Dubai. Our guide Mohammed Amin was friendly, knowledgeable and very experienced in what he does. We could feel his love for these birds and the bond he has with them. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to do something different during their time in Dubai. - Richelle

          Incredible tour and guide
          This was an amazing tour. Truly memorable. Khan picked us up early and on time. We visited the camel race track and then entered the reserve where we drove the sandy tracks and spotted local wildlife (oryx, antelope). We then had some Arabic coffee and met the birds. We were able to touch and feed the birds before they put on an amazing hunting and aerial display. Khan was an awesome photo and videographer and captured us smiling ear to ear as we observed and had great fly bys from the birds. Then we enjoyed an amazing breakfast buffet as a family. Highly, highly recommend.

          A True, Golden Bucket-List Excursion
          This was a phenomenal excursions tied to the heart of the Emirates. Out of all the activities I had done in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (about 25-various activities), this falconry experience is the only one I would do again. I am already planning my second time with this specific travel group. Amin, our guide and pick-up driver, was beyond professional and informative. He sought out to make sure we had a remarkable and memorable experience. I would request him specifically. What also makes this unique is the location: Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Breath-taking sunset with a view on the Omani mountains allowed us to take magazine tier photographs. The falconry experience was beyond unique and intimate. We had the opportunity to learn about all the various birds of prey and got very up close and personal. As stated already, I am already willing to go back again for a second time due to the intimacy and memorable experiences with Amin and the birds of prey.

          Professional and loving experience.
          What amazing experiences this was. Our Falcon trainer Khan was amazing. He’s very knowledgeable and gentle with birds, patient with us. A great support we had in this training from Khan’s friend name Rahim, he teached us how to feed eagle and falcons. He served us hot and cold beverages, sweets and he was very friendly. I am considering to take again this program, this time I’m going to bring my teenage son with me. I want to add also breakfast I had at Al Maha resort near traning location was the best. We had it all, from poached eggs and fruit salat, fresh juice it was the best breakfast. Thank you Mr. Khan I we will be back next year! Best

          "We throughly enjoyed this experience and you recommend to anyone we meet. Mohamed and the guys were incredibly knowledgeable about falconry and very kind with the whole tour. Helping with all our needs and taking us to see extra activities on the way even camel racing. All the birds of prey were beautiful and very well trained. We learnt so much about the Bedouin way of life. Thank you so much we just loved it."

          Unforgettable, a lifetime experience..
          We had booked a privat tour and it turned out to be the best thing to do. We were picked up at our Hotel Bab Al shams in Dubai from our very sweet and so informative Guide Khan. A big special thank goes out to Khan, for making this day so special and unforgettable for us. Our tour started at 4.30 in the morning. Khan was already waiting for us in the Lobby. Our Car was an SUV, nice and cool with very comfortable seats. We drove about 1 our into the desert passing a camel race track, where we could see the camels Bering trained as the sun was about to raise. Khan was very informative and told us so many interesting things about the Camel Sport. When we came deeper into the desert Khan stopped at a magical spot where we could see the sunrise. It was absolutely magical. Khan took some awesome pictures of me and my husband with the sunrise in the background with our own camera. Really breathtaking. When we arrived at our goal in the desert, 5 birds where waiting for us. Some birds of prey, an eagle and two Owls. We where offered water, Arabian Coffe and fresh Dates. All arranged on an oriental Carpet. So magical.. Khan told us everything about the birds and showed us how he trained the birds. Then it was our turn and we experienced how the Birds where landing from far away on our hands, flying through our arms and over our heads, as we folded our arms to a circle over our heads . Absolutely breathtaking to experience a big eagle fly through our arms and land completely smoothly on our hands. I also really loved the small white Owl. Every bird was so amazing. Khan took the most awesome pictures and videos of us with our own camera. He filmed the flying of the birds through our arms in slow motion, absolute breathtaking and so impressive. After approximately 1, 5 hour with the birds , Khan drove us back to our hotel and again told us everything about the birds and the culture hier in the Emirates.. I can really recommend this privat tour to everyone who is looking for a private tour. A lifetime experience ..

          Another happy recommendation for Royal Shaheen
          Our goal was to have an interactive falconry experience and Royal Shaheen delivered. Despite confusion about the pick-up point and the weather playing games with our plans, our guide and his co-host managed to let us handle 5 different birds, kept us entertained, and informed us about the history and art of Falconry. I would happily recommend this company and would be happy to visit them again. Something that worked very well for us was that we shared cell phone numbers which helped resolve the pick-up confusion quickly.

          Must do in Dubai!
          We had an amazing experience. The tour itself was so personable, and we ourselves had decided to stay at another tour longer that day and I had reached out last min and asked if we could change our pickup location. Which they did. They picked us up at the new arrival spot on time and drove us to the desert. From the time of pick up to the end of the tour everything was so personable. We learned so much about falconry and truly had a magical day. Thank you guys for an amazing time.

          Upclose with birds of prey
          Amin was our falconer. He was professional and very hospitable. He was punctual and knew a lot about the birds. We had a wonderful experience and my two kids (6 and 2) loved interacting with the birds. We also had a lot of opportunities to click pictures.

          Don't think about it, Do it!
          We loved every minute of this experience. Sarab and Amin were our guys in the field, they were so wonderful, they made you comfortable right away and were so much fun. Your adventure begins with delicious Arabic coffee and dates, it was then time for the adventure to begin. Our raptor repertoire included; a Gyr Falcon (Wathba), Barn Owl (Shonu), Dessert Eagle Owl (Sheldon), Harris Hawk, (Salli) and a Greater Spotted Eagle (Khaima). Special thanks to Shara for assistance in putting this together, always great at responding to emails and getting information to me. If you're thinking about this tour I would say do it, you will be glad you did! The photos are amazing, thanks Sarab for some great pics and footage, I've looked at them everyday since the tour. I would also suggest breakfast at Al Maha Resort, it's only minutes away and was very good.

          Family vacation highlight
          This trip was truly amazing. Our family was picked up from our hotel for the private afternoon falcon safari. Our guide Sarab was the most friendly, knowledgable, pleasant and helpful person. You could see he has a very close bond with the birds, who were treated very carefully and utmost respectfully. Upon arrival in the desert we were welcomed by his nice colleague with coffee and dates and we felt very comfortable. Also our toddler was welcome and integrated so that he also could be close to the birds, crawl in the desert sand and look at the show. The desert conservation reserve is absolutely beautiful and the sunset while we watched Oryx in the sand was stunning. Also booking and communication with Royal Shaheen was great. Thank you, Shara, for the quick and comprehensive communication. We can fully recommend this trip.

        What an amazing experience like no other. Not only to see the birds (who were of course, the stars of the show!) But also to see, experience and learn so many other things n addition to this.

        The early start was so worth it and lovely to start out before sunrise and still feel the cool of the desert before the sun comes up. Mohammed (or “Hammy”) our guide was amazing. A lovely, polite, friendly and very knowledgable man with a great sense of humour, whose enthusiasm for falconry was infectious. He stopped for us to see the (very calm and quiet) camels while they were getting ready to race, then we listened to a very beautiful and enigmatic call to prayer. The Mosque was very close to the track and we stopped whilst he went (briefly) into the mosque to pray. It was fantastic to see another religion and culture and how their practice works in day to day living.

        We saw oryx, gazelles and a plethora of hot air balloons 😀 along the way to a lovely little desert oasis where the birds of prey were waiting. It was very cold (take a jacket) and walking with the freezing cold sand running through our open toe shoes definitely woke us up ! Then lovely Arabic coffee and dates sitting on Killeems/Arabic rug was wonderful. The two other men who were helping were also lovely and it was very moving to see how much they all loved and respected the birds.

        When we got to feed, handle and fly these beautiful creatures Mohammed (plus colleagues) explained very calmly and clearly exactly what we needed to do. We learnt so much information about each of the birds (two different types of owl, a geo falcon, harris hawk and desert eagle) and how they differ in habits, learning and “personality”. We got plenty of time to handle them and also to do some very clever tricks, such as flying through our arms outstretch above our heads.

        The whole experience was the best thing we did whilst in Dubai. There are many fantastic experiences you can have here, but to us, The Burj Kalifha, Dubai Mall and all the other things pale into comparison with this excursion.

        And a really big thank you to Mohammed. You are “simply the best” .

        We stayed one week in Dubai and this was the best part of our trip.
        With Amin and Muhammad we had the best tour guides and falconry pros you can get. So many informations. So friendly. And being so near to these wonderful birds was outstanding. We took a lot of wonderful memories and pictures with us and will never forget this morning in the desert.

        My hubby and I had the BEST experience in Dubai, an absolute amazing experience. From the first communication right through to a follow up email, this company is nothing but professional.
        To start our falconer Cesar on time picked us up at the hotel in a beauthiful Jeep with a surprise in the back to met us. Khaimah, a magnificent eagle sitting on his perch, just so gorgeous and peaceful. What a nice touch.
        We spent such an amazing time in the desert with Cesar and his friend Rahim, both passionate Falconers, full of amazing information not only on the birds but life in Dubai. We had Arabic coffee and dates while they got the birds ready on a beautiful carpet in the middle of the desert!! It was great only hubby and I which enhanced our visit.
        You can see how much they care for their birds.
        To watch, listen and learn, then to do it ourselves, a once in a lifetime opportunity.
        The birds are majestic. We had 2 falcons, an eagle, hawk and owl
        Rahim was gracious to take a large number of photos for us, he is the professional falconer/photographer. Thank you so much!!
        This was THE BEST experience we had and can not recommend highly enough.
        To top off the best morning we then had the best breakfast at the desert oasis Al Maha desert resort and spa. If we had of known of this place we would have definitely spent a couple of nights there. Breakfast was delicious, what ever you wanted. What a way to top of our morning.
        Finally a BIG THANK YOU to Cesar and Rahim for giving us an unforgettable day in the Dubai Desert with the wonderful birds of prey.
        Do yourself a favour, spend that little extra on this tour and book it, you wont be sorry, especially if your the only ones out there!!

        This was the highlight of our trip to Dubai. It was an amazing experience. The guides, Brian and Werner, were the best. The ABSOLUTE best. Funny, full of information, and true love for their jobs.

        The main part of this activity was the interactive falconry, but Werner also took us on a desert drive, pointing out the local flora and fauna, and giving us some great explanations of what was happening out in the desert. By comparison, we also had a desert safari + dinner booked, and it was terrible compared to these guys. We learned more with Royal Saheen in 1/2 the time, got closer to the Oryx and Gazelle, and just had an overall much better time.

        In my opinion, I would completely skip the Desert Safarai / Dune Bashing / Sundowner junk tours and just book the falconry experience. You won't be dissapointed, there will be much more to learn and do, and you'll save the $$ you would've spent on the other tour.

        We were up early at 5am. We were picked up at our hotel on The Palm by Cesar. He was aware from the outset. In the jeep to take us to our destination was kaimah the eagle to take the 1hr 20min journey to our desert oasis. During the trip césar taught us a lot about Dubai history in regards to the Falcons and other birds of prey. When we arrived. We were the only ones there and enjoyed some amazing Arabic coffee and dates with Waheem before learning about each of the birds and watching them before flying them ourselves. What an incredible experience. César especially and Rahim made the experience exceptional absolutely one of our life experiences we will not forget. We will definitely do again when we come back with our daughters. Breakfast at Al Maha Desert resort topped off what was an already amazing experience.

        Worth every penny, this trip is well worth it and would recommend it to anyone interested in birds of prey.We where picked up from the hotel by Dylan and khaimah the greater spotted eagle, and taken out to the desert where we seen the sunrise over the mountains. After these we got to interact with the birds. Are favourite was Penny the desert eagle owl.

        Dear Claire, Many thanks for your review on your m morning with us. We struggle to convince clients of the value of a premium product like this. Dubai is loaded with crowded commercial experiences. We will ensure value for money is obtained, each and every time. Kind regards, Pete

        My wife and I did the dfs tour on Friday morning. Cesar picked us up at 5am and on our drive to Dubai desert conservation reserve explained in detail what to expect from the experience and everything we need to know about the various birds of prey species we would get to meet and fly on the day. It was very interesting to get to know all the facts about the birds and the ways they differ amongst each other from flying techniques to hunting methods. It made the experience even better knowing all the facts beforehand.
        Now, meeting and flying the birds was something else. I myself am a big fan of eagles so getting to fly Khaimah and take loads of pictures and videos is experience I will never forget.
        We both enjoyed seeing Jane and Rage/ the falcons, hunt the lure,fying khalessi the owl and Winchester the hawk. It was amazing when Cesar demonstrated to us how hawks can fly in between tight spaces by getting my wife and I to stand closer and closer together as Winchester flew in between us to Cesar.
        Overall I feel this is an adventure everyone who lives in and who is visiting Dubai should experience..and with Cesar as a guide! We would recommend it to everyone who loves nature and animals and wants to learn some cool facts.

        Cesar and Ibrahim were both great and very knowledgeable and positive during the whole tour. Once we were done with the birds Cesar drove us around the Reserve to show us various animals and explained facts about them to add on top of already a great day!

        Thank you for a great experience!

        Prompt and complete passion for the birds and their role.
        These birds are birds of prey - this team totally gets this, they are in tune with the birds and you can tell they care deeply. Worth while the early start. Perfect day thanks to Dylan and his team, you were amazing - thank you

        There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about this experience - it was fantastic and the absolute highlight of our time in Dubai!

        Bryan our South African tour guide picked us up at 5am (with two birds in the car!) and on the hours drive to the desert conservation park told us so much about Dubai and it's growth and culture, and even stopped by the Camel racing/training center where we saw some camels in training.

        At the park we were met by Amin and 4 more beautiful birds. We were shown the different ways of training/feeding the birds then we were able to participate with these amazing creatures flying and landing on our hands - many times! It was truly magical and the love Bryan had for his birds was evident. After the birds were fed Bryan took us for a drive through the conservation park to see some native wildlife, again fantastic.

        Bryan and Amin were both so lovely, friendly, funny, and informative so Royal Shaheen certainly choose their staff well for this special experience.

        It's a little more expensive than your average sightseeing tour in Dubai but 100 times the value than anything else we did and the memories will last forever - not to mention the awesome photos and slow mo videos we got. If I visited Dubai again and only had time to do one thing, this would be it for sure.

        Dear Raechel, Wow, powerful review. "It's a little more expensive than your average sightseeing tour in Dubai but 100 times the value than anything else we did and the memories will last forever" Im pleased you see the value in paying am little more for quality. This decision was made based on our exclusivity policy. We really don't see the value of mass tourism, especially when raptors are in the game. From all of us at Royal Shaheen, we would like to wish you a happy festive season ahead. Rgds, Pete
