A trip to Abu Dhabi Hospital – the proud winner of 10 plus prestigious awards for its one-of-a-kind program that allows you to have close-up encounters with falcons – will offer an interesting look at the Abu Dhabi’s interesting yore.
Started off as an Environment Agency Abu Dhabi’s affiliate in 1999, the ADFH is now the largest of its kind in the world providing comprehensive vet care to splendid falcons as well as other bird species. With the rare distinction of having treated more than 50,000 falcons, it is now reputed as one of the most foremost facilities for medicine and research in the field of falcon medicine.
