ADIHEX 2027 is the next edition of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, held at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. The 2027 dates have not been published on the official site, where the most recent edition ran 28 August to 6 September 2026. The exhibition covers hunting, equestrian and heritage sectors, and for the 2026 edition the organiser expected over 379,000 buyers, enthusiasts and professionals from more than 68 countries.
About ADIHEX
ADIHEX is organised by ADNEC Group, and the organiser’s site describes it as the largest event of its kind for hunting, equestrian pursuits and heritage conservation. The 2026 edition was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region. The show is built around Emirati heritage: the organiser lists cultural showcases, live auctions and hands-on activities that highlight Arabic coffee traditions, Emirati customs and traditional handcrafts.
The falcon auction is a fixed part of the programme. In 2026 it ran before and during the exhibition, with all falcons displayed in advance so bidders could view them and read their biodata. The 2026 features also included a live arena, a young hunters and riders village, shooting simulation, an archery range and a creative experience.
What’s on the show floor
The organiser groups the exhibition into 15 sectors: hunting tourism and safari, veterinary products and services, outdoor leisure vehicle equipment, falconry, camel, preservation of environment and cultural heritage, hunting and shooting sports guns and equipment, equestrian, arts and crafts, RVs and caravans, fishing equipment and marine sports, hunting and camping equipment, Saluki, knives and a souk. The organiser says each sector has a dedicated zone on the floor.
Who attends ADIHEX
The organiser describes an audience of buyers, enthusiasts and professionals, with family activities such as falcon handling, art workshops and Emirati etiquette sessions on the programme, so the show is open to the public as well as trade. It also names key decision-makers, VIP buyers and government stakeholders among the people exhibitors can meet. In 2026 the exhibition opened from 10:00 to 22:00.
Notable ADIHEX exhibitors
Exhibitors featured by the organiser include Al Forsan Holding Group, ARB UAE, Emirates Arabian Horse Association, Tasleeh and International Golden Group UAE.
