The 22nd edition of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) will be held from 30th August to 7th September 2025 at the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. Recognised as the largest exhibition of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa, this annual event celebrates Emirati culture and heritage in the fields of falconry, hunting, equestrianism, fishing, and diverse outdoor sports.
ADIHEX 2025 will take place under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Falconers’ Club. Organised by ADNEC Group, a Modon Holding company, in cooperation with the Emirates Falconers’ Club, this year’s edition is anticipated to be the biggest since its inception in 2003.
Running for nine days from 11am to 10pm daily, the exhibition will feature an impressive lineup, including falconry auctions, camel racing, and captivating equestrian shows. The event will attract enthusiasts, experts, and exhibitors from around the world, representing leading companies and brands across 15 diverse sectors. This provides a platform to display the latest equipment and technologies shaping the future of hunting and equestrian pursuits.
One of the highlights will be the comprehensive seminars, discussions, competitions, and interactive events focused on sustainable hunting practices in the 21st century. Attendees can explore the UAE’s commitment to conservation practices and the protection of local wildlife, as well as the latest innovations in sustainability — positioning the country as a global ambassador for traditional sustainable hunting.
