The Saudi International Falconry and Hunting Exhibition 2025 embodies the continuous development in the Kingdom’s event industry, featuring renewed programs and participation from over 1300 exhibitors and brands from more than 45 countries. This reflects its status as the largest gathering for falconry, hunting, and desert adventure enthusiasts in the region and the world, serving as an economic and cultural driver that enhances the Kingdom’s position on the global events map.
Data from the Saudi Falcon Club shows that the exhibition aims in 2025 to meet the growing demand from visitors and exhibitors from within the Kingdom and abroad, maintaining its position as the largest exhibition of its kind in the world, with significant expansion in area, specialized sectors, and accompanying programs.

Exhibition Development and Renewal
These indicators reflect an upward trajectory in the exhibition’s development and renewal, while the scale of international participation solidifies its position on the regional and global specialized events map.
This development is expected to positively impact business and domestic tourism, providing a rich experience for both visitors and participants.
The exhibition welcomes visitors from October 2 to 11 at the Saudi Falcon Club headquarters in Malham (north of Riyadh city).
Saudi Falcon Club
The Saudi Falcon Club, established in 2020, is a modern institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the ancient Arabian tradition of falconry. It serves as a hub for falconers, offering veterinary care, training, and cultural events to celebrate this important aspect of Saudi heritage. The club highlights how the practice, once vital for desert survival, has evolved into a cherished national sport and cultural art form.
Malawah race
I am unable to provide a summary for “Malawah race” as it does not appear to be a recognized place or cultural site. It is possible there may be a spelling error or confusion with another term, such as the Malawian people from the country of Malawi or the flatbread “malawach” from Yemeni-Jewish cuisine.
Future Falconer
I am unable to provide a summary for “Future Falconer” as it does not appear to be a recognized historical place or established cultural site. It may be a conceptual artwork, a piece of fiction, or a local attraction with very limited documentation. Without verifiable information, I cannot confirm its history or cultural significance.
Mongolian falcons
Mongolian falconry is a traditional practice and intangible cultural heritage, historically vital for nomadic hunting and survival on the steppe. It involves training golden eagles, a specific type of large falcon, and has been passed down through generations. This ancient tradition remains a celebrated part of Mongolia’s cultural identity.
Chinese pavilion
The Chinese pavilion is a traditional architectural structure, often found in gardens and parks, characterized by its elegant, upward-curving eaves and open-sided design. Historically, these pavilions served as places for rest, contemplation, and enjoying scenic views, with their origins deeply rooted in ancient Chinese imperial and scholarly culture. They remain iconic symbols of classical Chinese landscape architecture and philosophy.
World Heritage area
A World Heritage area is a landmark or region granted legal protection by an international treaty administered by UNESCO for having outstanding cultural, historical, or natural significance to humanity. These sites, which range from the Great Barrier Reef to the Pyramids of Giza, are considered irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. The World Heritage Convention was established in 1972 to identify, protect, and preserve these treasures for future generations.
Shlail Museum
The Shlail Museum is a private cultural institution in Qatar, established by the Al Thani family to house their extensive personal collection of art and artifacts. It showcases a diverse range of objects, including Islamic art, modern paintings, photography, and historical manuscripts, reflecting both regional heritage and global artistic traditions.
Malham
Malham is a village in North Yorkshire, England, renowned for its dramatic limestone scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its most famous features include Malham Cove, a vast curved limestone cliff formed by a waterfall from melting glaciers, and the nearby Gordale Scar, a deep limestone ravine. The area’s history is deeply tied to sheep farming and the wool trade, with its landscape also bearing evidence of ancient settlement.
