From August 28 to September 6, the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) will host the 23rd edition of the International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition ADIHEX 2026.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in the Al Dhafra Region, this year’s event will run for ten days — the longest format in the show’s history. Organizers expect more than 379,000 visitors from 68 countries and over 2,000 exhibitors. With thousands of brands competing for visitor attention, a professionally built exhibition stand plays a crucial role in creating a strong presence at ADIHEX. The exhibition will cover more than 92,000 sqm, with over 60% of exhibition space already reserved since the previous edition.
The exhibition spans 15 specialized sectors, including falconry, camel breeding, equestrian sports, hunting weapons and equipment, camping gear, fishing tackle, veterinary services, traditional crafts, and cultural heritage preservation. Major highlights include live falcon and camel auctions, which in 2026 will be held both onsite and online. Visitors can also attend falconry and archery masterclasses, as well as enjoy a dedicated children’s zone.
Why Exhibiting at ADIHEX 2026 Matters for Global Brands?
With major government-backed infrastructure projects and the rapid expansion of luxury tourism across the UAE, demand for hunting, equestrian, and outdoor lifestyle products continues to grow. Exhibitors with a strong presence at ADIHEX gain direct access to high-net-worth buyers, government delegations, retail chains, and regional distributors actively sourcing premium products. A professionally designed custom exhibition stand helps brands attract attention, showcase premium products, and create effective meeting spaces for buyers and partners.
