Organised by Expo Centre Sharjah with backing from the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), the event attracted 4,000 visitors, a 60% increase from last year. The exhibition featured over 250 companies and brands specialising in horse, camel, and falcon equipment.

Saif Mohammed Al Midfa, CEO of Expo Centre Sharjah, highlighted the exhibition's unique importance due to its connection to the UAE’s cultural heritage. He stated that this year's edition was highly successful, drawing many visitors interested in exploring the latest hunting and equestrian tools. The event provided a platform for companies to present their products for pure-bred animals.

A key attraction was the Falcon Auction, which drew significant interest from falconry enthusiasts both locally and internationally. Rare falcon breeds were showcased, with participants sharing insights into falconry techniques. The auction also spotlighted specialised tools for falcon care, promoting appreciation for this traditional sport's cultural heritage.

The exhibition spanned 700 square meters and attracted residents from Al Dhaid and surrounding regions. Visitors from across Sharjah and other Emirates came to see displays of horses, camels, falcons, and hunting dogs. They also explored new equestrian products and cutting-edge hunting equipment presented by exhibitors.

This year introduced a hunting dog competition as a new feature, adding diversity to the event's programming. Various government clubs and associations dedicated to hunting, equestrian sports, and falconry participated in the exhibition. Attendees gained insights into breeding practices through workshops focused on purebred animal care.

The exhibition also hosted a traditional poetry evening where renowned poets performed Nabati verses. This cultural element enriched the heritage aspect of the event and resonated well with attendees. The gathering served as an ideal venue for showcasing products related to animal care and stable supplies.

Visitors had opportunities to acquire advanced hunting gear alongside equestrian and camel care products. They learned about best practices in breeding through specialised activities offered during the exhibition.
