The 23rd Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) is set to open on Friday, marking the largest edition in its history. The 10-day event, held at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, will feature 2,405 companies, brands and exhibitors from 71 countries. Organised by ADNEC Group, in partnership with the Emirates Falconers’ Club, this year's exhibition will cover 107,000 square metres, a 17 per cent increase from the previous year.
The expo, under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will showcase 15 specialised sectors, including falconry, camels, equestrianism, Salukis, hunting equipment, veterinary services and marine sports. A total of 55 falcon-breeding farms will participate, with a 20 per cent increase compared to 2025. Four specialised falcon auctions will also be held.
The exhibition will feature interactive activities, live demonstrations and a children's zone designed to introduce younger visitors to Emirati heritage, traditional arts and falconry. ADIHEX, first launched in 2003, coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Emirates Falconers’ Club. The event aims to promote sustainable hunting, connect heritage with innovation, and preserve Emirati traditions for future generations.
