ADIHEX Abu Dhabi

The International Hunting & Equestrian Exhibition ADIHEX is much more than a traditional trade fair. It is regarded as the annual meeting point for enthusiasts and professionals from the fields of hunting, falconry, equestrian sports, and nature conservation across the Middle East and Africa. The event takes place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), centrally located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Since its inception in 2003, ADIHEX has developed into the largest platform of its kind, attracting an international professional audience and interested visitors from around the world every autumn, typically in September or October.

The exhibition is organized by the Emirates Falconers’ Club, which is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of falconry as well as the regional cultural heritage. ADIHEX stands out for its wide-ranging thematic spectrum: It brings together falconry, equestrianism, camel husbandry, hunting and shooting sports, safari and fishing tourism, cutting-edge weapon and outdoor technologies, as well as traditional crafts, art, and sustainable environmental education. Visitors will find state-of-the-art equipment for hunting, equestrian sports, camping, and outdoor activities, the latest products for fishing and water sports, high-quality leisure vehicles, and veterinary products and services. This diversity makes the exhibition a central hub for companies from various sectors, including tourism, technology, and handicrafts.

ADIHEX is closely linked to the culture of Abu Dhabi and the UAE. At its core lies the preservation of centuries-old traditions such as falconry, equestrianism, camel breeding, and traditional fishing, all brought to life through exclusive events, competitions, and demonstrations. These include falcon auctions, horse and camel shows, falconry flight and dog agility contests, as well as reenactments of historical riding and archery skills. Practical workshops, covering topics such as desert survival, fishing, or environmental protection, round off the program. The exhibition appeals to a diverse audience: from high-level decision-makers and international traders to affluent consumers and cultural or outdoor enthusiasts from across the globe. They all use ADIHEX as a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and business opportunities.

Exhibitors mainly come from the fields of hunting, equestrian sports, outdoor and camping equipment, veterinary medicine, weapons and vehicle technology, art, and crafts. Innovation, quality, and cultural authenticity are at the heart of the exhibition. ADIHEX is the leading event of its kind in the Middle East and Africa.
