Very traditional. Absolutely very much the ancient sport of falcons. You can buy falcons here. You also get air guns and other stuff that is related to the sport. A must see place just across the racing grounds of the Nad Al Sheba.

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 5 and up who are curious about UAE cultural traditions and animal handling. The falcon vet clinic is the most distinctive element โ€” rare access to working animal care that children engage with directly.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กAsk staff directly for falcon handling assistance โ€” they actively facilitate this for visitors
โฐVisit the falcon vet clinic inside the souq โ€” it is separate from the museum and part of the same complex
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธArrive before closing time to allow time for both the museum and the souq shops
๐Ÿš—Parking availability is unconfirmed โ€” consider ride-share drop-off at the Nad Al Sheba complex entrance

โ€œThis place is for Falcon lovers. There is falcon museum immediately left upon entrance and entry is free. Good to see some collection including royal car from royal family. Inside mall you will find shops related to falconry. Place has prayer room inside. All shop owners are very friendly and we got opportunity to handle falcons, weapons. My wife and daughter visited falcon wet clinic to see how they operate falcon. Small eatery with Arabic cuisine. We visited weapon shop and falcon cap shop and surprise to falcon cap made of snake skin and weapons expensive upto 65000 AED.โ€
