Abu Dhabi is preparing to host the largest-ever edition of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) from August 30 to September 7, 2025, at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.

The 22nd edition of the event is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Falconers Club. Organized by ADNEC Group in partnership with the Emirates Falconers Club, ADIHEX celebrates the UAE’s deep-rooted hunting, falconry, and equestrian traditions.

Following last year’s success, which welcomed over 350,000 visitors and 1,700 exhibitors from 65 countries, this year’s event is expected to break records once again. It will feature new activities, including multi-stage falcon auctions and interactive cultural performances that highlight the UAE’s heritage.

His Excellency Majid Ali Al Mansouri, Secretary General of the Emirates Falconers Club, said ADIHEX has become a key platform for preserving Emirati and Arab heritage. “This event connects the legacy of the past with the ambitions of the future,” he said, expressing gratitude to the UAE leadership for its continued support of cultural initiatives.

Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, ADNEC Group CEO, said preparations are in full swing to deliver an exceptional experience for visitors and participants. “This year, we are introducing new features like falcon auctions, live demonstrations, and global partnerships to reinforce ADIHEX’s standing as a world-class event,” he said.

The exhibition will also support local industries, traditional crafts, and small businesses by opening doors to new regional and international markets. Visitors can expect a diverse showcase, from hunting and equestrian gear to marine sports equipment, camping gear, arts, and crafts.

In addition to the main Abu Dhabi event, ADNEC announced the launch of the first-ever Al Ain International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, scheduled for November 26–30, 2025. This new event will cover 12,000 square meters and spotlight the latest technologies and equipment in these heritage sectors.

With a rich mix of tradition and innovation, ADIHEX 2025 is set to be a global celebration of Emirati culture and a must-visit for heritage and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.
