Liwa Desert Falcon Show

Native falcons are a symbol of the cultural heritage of the UAE. For centuries, local Bedouin people have relied on these magnificent birds of prey to hunt game across the vast desert, a practice that required patience, trust, and remarkable skill.

Today, falconry remains not only a celebrated sport but also a treasured art form, passed down through generations as a proud symbol of Emirati heritage.

Guided by the steady hand of their trainer, falcons embody a partnership built on respect and centuries of tradition. Visitors are invited to experience the thrill first-hand at Aldhafra Resort. With this premium desert experience you'll get to witness the bird’s sharp-eyed focus, lightning-fast dives, and the extraordinary bond between falcon and falconer. It is a captivating and unforgettable glimpse into a desert's history.
