Q: What is Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital known for?

Falconry and the United Arab Emirates go hand in hand, but where do their feathered friends go for checkups? To the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, that’s where. As the name suggests, it’s the region’s port of call for injured and ailing birds—as well as a quirky tourist hot spot.

Q: Do you need reservations to visit Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital?

Yes, reservations are indispensable. Tours sell out quickly, so be sure to book yours at least two or three days in advance—and several weeks ahead for groups, which can be tough to squeeze in. Read the fine print, as some guided excursions also include door-to-door hotel transfers.

Q: Can you go to Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital on your own?

Unfortunately, no. The hospital is open to individual travelers only as part of a guided tour. It's a working clinic with a long patient list to get through, so tours are typically offered twice a day. Keep in mind that the hospital is not open to outsiders on Fridays.

Q: How long does it take to visit Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital?

A standard guided tour, which includes hotel pickup and drop-off, typically lasts around two to three hours. Longer half- or full-day itineraries might also include visits to other Abu Dhabi attractions, such as Sheikh Zayed Mosque or the Louvre Abu Dhabi, so weigh your options when selecting.

Q: Is the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital good for kids?

Yes, this is a favorite family-friendly activity for many visitors in Abu Dhabi. Kids—especially animal lovers—enjoy coming into close contact with falcons and learning more about their long histories within this desert region. Travelers get a chance to feed or hold one of the winged patients.

What are people saying about Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital (ADFH)

Guided Falcon Hospital Tour Abu Dhabi

Jennifer_S, Nov 2025

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.

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.

An Abu Dhabi highlight!

I first tried to buy tix on the official site, but they were sold out. Luckily I saw this listing for the same time! I personally did not need the pickup so I can’t speak to that part, but the tour itself was one of the highlights of my UAE trip! I learned so much from the staff, and it was very engaging. We also met a kind gentleman bringing his falcon in for an exam while we were waiting, so it was interesting to get his perspective as well.
