The story
Saudi International Falcons and Hunting Exhibition in Riyadh
The Saudi International Falcons and Hunting Exhibition, commonly known as SIFHE, is a major annual trade exhibition held in Riyadh each autumn, combining falcon auctions, hunting equipment displays, and heritage programming. It draws breeders, collectors, and enthusiasts from across the Gulf and beyond to what has grown into one of the world's largest falconry-related trade events.
Falconry's roots in the Arabian Peninsula stretch back centuries, developed originally as a practical hunting technique among Bedouin communities relying on trained birds of prey to catch game across open desert terrain where other hunting methods offered little advantage.
