Morning start
Book early-morning slots; temperatures are cooler and falcons are more active at dawn.
Sun and sand
Wear SPF, sunglasses, and closed-toe shoes—soft dunes and bright light make sun protection and stable footing essential.
Follow the handler
Handlers set rules for approach, photography, and when to offer the glove—obeying them keeps birds calm and flights safe.
Hydrate and pace
Bring water and pace yourself on the drive—desert air is dry and even light activity can dehydrate you quickly.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Stable shoes help with traction on loose sand and uneven surfaces.
Wide-brim hat and sunglasses
Protects against strong sun and glare during morning and midday hours.
summer
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
