Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) 2025: A Celebration of Falconry and Sustainability
The Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) returned for its 22nd edition in 2025, reaffirming the UAE's commitment to advancing falcon breeding and environmental conservation. This year's event, held in the heart of the city, served as a platform for networking among global experts, exhibitors, and falconry enthusiasts.
ADIHEX leverages advanced scientific methods to promote sustainability and conservation in falcon breeding. The organizing committee rigorously inspects and evaluates all participating falcons, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality. Each falcon is assessed for weight, color, and precise measurements of their wing spans. Strict evaluation criteria have been set, classifying falcons into Beauty Falcons and Racing Falcons.
The ADIHEX falcon auctions are among the region's most prestigious events of the year. Elite, rare, and specially bred falcons from 46 leading local and international falcon farms will be present at the auction. The Falcon Farms represented at the Falcon Auction of ADIHEX 2025 include Al Wathba, Al Siam, Al Asayel, and Al Dzafra. Over 1,000 falcons were assessed for this year's edition, with only the top-tier making into the prestigious ADIHEX auctions.
The ADIHEX falcon auction is a partnership between ADNEC Group and the Emirates Falconers' Club. This year's programme includes six live auctions and a secure online auction platform. The auctions attract top local and international bidders, making them among the most prominent and renowned heritage events.
ADIHEX aims to foster innovation and sustainable practices among falconry enthusiasts. Each falcon will be presented with comprehensive details to ensure the highest levels of transparency. The event also aims to support and encourage falcon farms in buying, selling, and breeding the best falcons.
In addition to the auctions, ADIHEX 2025 aims to promote the art of falconry and celebrate the rich cultural heritage it represents. The exhibition reinforces its reputation as one of the region's most important cultural and sporting events.
The 2025 edition of ADIHEX saw total sales of Dh1.668 million for 41 falcons in six auctions. Despite the high stakes, the event maintains a focus on sustainability and conservation, ensuring that the tradition of falconry continues to thrive for generations to come.
In conclusion, ADIHEX 2025 was a resounding success, bringing together the world's best falconry enthusiasts, experts, and falcons. The event reaffirmed the UAE's commitment to advancing falcon breeding and environmental conservation, while also celebrating the rich cultural heritage of falconry.
