The Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) 2024, under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will blend Emirati traditions with modern innovations. This event, organised by Capital Events in collaboration with the Emirates Falconers’ Club, runs from 31st August to 8th September 2024 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.

A major highlight is the Falcon Auction, showcasing the UAE's leadership in captive-breeding falcons. This auction offers a variety of falcons for both beginners and seasoned falconers. For the first time, online bidding for premium falcons will be available, with a special viewing area at the event.

Visitors can enjoy cultural exhibitions, traditional performances, and live historical displays celebrating UAE heritage. The event caters to hunting and equestrian enthusiasts as well as those interested in the region's cultural legacy.

The "Vaulting with Dhabian Equestrian Club" show will highlight horseback vaulting. The Arabian Horse Society will present "Tshouleeb" featuring traditional Bedouin chanting by riders on purebred Arabian horses. Additionally, the "Horse Beauty Handler’s Competition" will showcase the elegance of Arabian horses and their handlers' roles.

From Monday 2nd September to Sunday 8th September, the "Liberty Equestrian Display" will captivate audiences with horses presented without tack or restraints. These shows demonstrate the bond between horse and handler while highlighting the horses' natural beauty and abilities.

Historical Battle and Archery Displays

The "Historical Battle and Archery on Horseback" display will feature Mamluk Archery and Kaber Stables demonstrating traditional Ottoman battle scenes and archery skills. This year's ADIHEX promises its most diverse array of shows yet, with dynamic live performances, exciting competitions, and fascinating heritage displays.
