The Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital is the world’s first and largest hospital dedicated to the falcon, the UAE’s national bird. Since its establishment in 1999 under the leadership of a renowned German veterinary surgeon, this remarkable hospital treats around 6,000 birds each year, housing them in over 200 air-conditioned treatment rooms.

Falcons are a powerful cultural symbol of Abu Dhabi, celebrated for their skill and distinct personalities. These birds of prey have played an essential role in Emirati culture for centuries, particularly among Bedouin communities, where they were used to hunt bustards, curlews, and other animals for food. Today, falconry remains a highly popular sport, with falcons issued passports and provided with top-tier medical care, including check-ups, treatments, and even feather replacements.

During your visit, explore the hospital’s luxurious wards, visit a museum offering insights into the revered desert tradition of falconry, and even try the sport for yourself in the lush garden. Watch falcons soar through the free-flight aviary, observe a falcon pedicure, and have the chance to meet and hold one of these majestic birds.
