Saudi International Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2024 began on Friday in Malham, featuring a diverse array of attractions

The Saudi International Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2024, which showcases a fusion of heritage and innovation, welcomed guests on Friday to Malham, north of Riyadh. Running for 10 days under the theme “a world that resembles you,” the massive exhibition has drawn over 400 exhibitors from 45 nations. 

This year's expo, which is being hosted by the Saudi Falcons Club, is a major increase, taking over 160,000 square meters and offering a wide range of attractions. 

With Saudi enterprises representing over 55 global brands and special and rare editions for hunting aficionados, it is a ground-breaking move that houses the Kingdom's first platform for selling hunting firearms. Additionally, the event offers both virtual and actual hunting experiences.

A variety of activities are available for visitors to participate in, providing firsthand knowledge of falcon training and rearing. 

Visitors can peruse an expansive marketplace featuring hundreds of vendors showcasing cutting-edge falconry equipment, cutting-edge technologies, and specialty food items for these highly sought-after birds. 

The Future Falconer Program, a noteworthy addition this year, aims to teach kids about the art of falconry through engaging and instructive activities.

In addition, there will be live fine art galleries, interactive games, a photography exhibition, a remote-controlled aircraft display, an outdoor cookery demonstration area, the Shalayel Digital Museum, and an area for arts, crafts, and sculpture. 

Adventurers can take in drone demos, equestrian displays, and 4x4 vehicle activities. 

The event is open to everyone, with free admission offered every day from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., thanks to the organizers.
