The story

Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition in Abu Dhabi

ADIHEX, the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, runs each late summer at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi in cooperation with the Emirates Falconers' Club, now running for more than two decades, spanning fifteen sectors from falconry and camels to hunting equipment and RVs, with live and online falcon auctions and expected attendance exceeding 379,000 from more than 68 countries.

Live and online falcon auctions let bidders from anywhere in the world compete in real time for birds whose full biodata has been published in advance, a trading mechanism that gives ADIHEX a genuine commercial marketplace function well beyond a typical hobbyist expo.

Spanning fifteen distinct sectors from falconry and camels to RVs and cultural heritage preservation under one roof also gives it a lifestyle-trade-show breadth unusual among single-theme hunting and equestrian expos elsewhere
