This year’s International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) in Abu Dhabi has placed falconry firmly in the spotlight.

One of the standout features is the fourfold increase in falcon farms taking part compared to the previous edition. Leading names from the UAE, including KH Falcons, Alsarami Falcon and AD Falcons, are showcasing some of their finest birds alongside international counterparts, underlining the growing global recognition of the UAE as a hub for falconry.

Symbol of national identity

Hadi Al Mansouri, owner of KH Falcons, explained: “Falconry is not just a tradition in the UAE; it is a symbol of our national identity. Falcon farms safeguard this legacy by raising standards, supporting local breeders, and ensuring excellence.”
