Dubai Falconry Safari & Wildlife
Falcons are deeply rooted in Dubai’s ancient history, and
are witnessed as cultural icons throughout the UAE. In fact, they are so highly
recommended that images of falcons can be seen on street signs, local currency,
and are even the national emblem of Dubai.
We have mentioned all the necessary things you should know
about the Dubai Falconry Safari. This will give you a better idea of the
different types of falcon shows offered at Dubai Safaris.
Traditional Falconry
Traditional Falconry demonstrations are offered on several of Desert Safaris. As with all of the other falcon shows, traditional falconry provides a glimpse into the rich history falcons have within this region. You will get to see how the falconers train these majestic creatures to fly and swoop for lures. Once the falcon catches the lure in the sky, they are rewarded with their favorite snack, which is usually quail. After the show, guests get great photo opportunities holding the falcon on the glove.
Modern Falconry
Basically Falconry is an ancient art that has been
proficient for thousands of years, but the techniques used have evolved greatly
in recent decades.
To give tourists exposure, a modern interactive falconry
demonstration is provided on two of the desert safaris. This includes
demonstrations of the traditional, as well as modern techniques used to train
the falcons. Hi-tech equipment like high end drones are used in modern times to
keep the falcons fit.
On this experience, guests watch falcons reach speeds up to
300km/h as they fly and soar the skies around the drone. These shows are very
interactive and great for anyone interested in seeing how falconry has evolved
over the years.
