Organised by the Emirates Falconers’ Club in strategic partnership with ADNEC Group, this world-leading exhibition with over two decades’ heritage runs from 31 August to 8 September 2024 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. Whether they are hunting and equestrian enthusiasts or looking to immerse themselves in the region’s cultural heritage, visitors to ADIHEX can explore cultural exhibitions, breathtaking traditional performances, and live historical displays that will educate and inspire.
As the largest event of its kind in the MENA region, ADIHEX will host 11 distinct cultural sectors including equestrian and falconry, hunting and shooting, camping, hunting tourism and safari, fishing and marine sports, and arts and crafts along with many others from the entire spectrum of sporting and outdoor activities.
