ADIHEX — Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition

أبوظبي الدولي للصيد والفروسية

Abu Dhabi · United Arab Emirates

ADIHEX is the Gulf's hunting and equestrian exhibition: falcons and the entire trade around them — hoods, telemetry, veterinary care, breeding — plus salukis, Arabian horses, arms, art and the auctions that go with all of it.

Falconry is UNESCO-inscribed as intangible heritage, jointly across the UAE and more than a dozen other countries, and in the Emirates it remains a living practice with its own hospitals and passports for birds.

No attendance figure is collected in this pass.

For a visitor it is the most direct access to the part of Emirati culture that pre-dates the cities entirely, and it is one of the few events here where the commercial floor and the cultural content are the same thing.

PlanningA late-summer window; the one major UAE event that opens the autumn rather than closing the summer.
