A Gyr Pure Ultra White falcon set a new record at the ADIHEX 2026 auction in Abu Dhabi, selling for AED2.1 million. This marked the highest price ever paid for a falcon at auction, surpassing earlier high-value sales during the exhibition. The rare white plumage, pure lineage, and appearance of the bird made it one of the most sought-after falcons offered during the auction programme.
The ADIHEX 2026 event featured eight live falcon auctions and an online auction for elite falcons, with the live sales forming part of the largest auction programme in the exhibition's history. ADIHEX, held under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, ran from August 28 to September 6 at the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi and attracted 2,405 exhibitors and brands from 71 countries across various sectors.
