Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, visited the 23rd edition of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition at ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi.
He was accompanied on the tour by Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of ADNEC Group.
Largest edition to date
This year's exhibition, running under the theme 'A Legacy of Pride', is the largest in the event's history in terms of overall exhibition area and number of participants. For the first time, ADIHEX fully occupies every available hall at ADNEC Centre, and the event runs for ten days, from 28 August to 6 September.
The exhibition is organized by ADNEC Group in strategic partnership with the Emirates Falconers' Club, a pairing that has shaped ADIHEX since its earlier editions and continues to anchor this year's expanded programme.
What is on show
ADIHEX 2026 brings together 15 participating sectors, spanning hunting, equestrian pursuits, falconry, heritage preservation, desert adventures, and outdoor activities. Across the halls, the exhibition showcases innovations and products tailored to the hunting, equestrian, and falconry sectors, drawing exhibitors and visitors with an interest in these traditional pursuits and the industries that support them.
For residents and visitors in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE, the exhibition offers a chance to see how these heritage-linked sectors continue to grow, reflected this year in the record scale of the event and its full use of ADNEC Centre's exhibition space.
