Reserve is open to falconers, hunting enthusiasts and visitors daily during the season.
Hunting lovers in the UAE can look forward to an unforgettable cultural experience at the 7th hunting season of the Al Marzoom Hunting Reserve in Al Dhafra region, that kicked off on November 1 and is running until mid-February 2022.
The reserve is the first and largest reserve for traditional falconry and Saluki dogs hunting, offering an unforgettable and unique cultural experience of conventional hunting while promoting environmental and heritage conservation awareness.
The reserve will be open to falconers, hunting enthusiasts and visitors during the hunting season daily, seven days a week. Hunting trips will run twice daily, in the morning and afternoon.
"The reserve offers visitors the chance to enjoy nature and its picturesque environment in addition to sustainably practising traditional recreational fishing in line with fishing regulations in Abu Dhabi," said Obaid Khalfan Al Mazrouei, Director of the Planning and Projects Department of the Committee.
Falconry has always been a traditional sport and a heritage symbol associated with the UAE and the Gulf region. "The tremendous success that the previous six seasons the Al Marzoom Hunting Reserve witnessed made it possible to carry on with this unique Abu Dhabi initiative for a seventh season," Al Mazrouei added.
He further explained that since its opening in 2015, the reserve had attracted more than 7,200 visitors from experienced falconers to dessert tourists and Bedouin lifestyle enthusiasts, both local and from abroad. The hunting season also attracts significant interest from local, Arab and international media.
"We provide conventional hunting lovers with the perfect hunting experience safely and sustainably, where they can enjoy hunting the Houbara bustards, rabbits and antelopes using falcons and Saluki dogs, accompanied by two professional hunting guides and riding traditional hunting vehicles," said Ahmed bin Hiaa Al Mansouri, Director of the reserve.
The reserve offers a discount on hunting Houbara bustards. Overnight accommodation is available in dedicated camps for symbolic fees. Visitors will be divided into hunting teams and accompanied by professional hunters. "It is essential that all hunters abide by the rules and conditions put in place to make the hunting experience a success for all while treating the surrounding natural environment and its inhabitants with utmost care and respect," Al Mansouri added.
The reserve is located 100 to 120 kilometres outside Abu Dhabi, and extends on an area of about 923 square kilometres.
