RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 24, 2022, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

30% increase in participation from the world's leading international falcon

breeding centers at the International Saudi Falcons & Hunting Exhibition

Falconers from around the world are set to attend the fourth annual

International Saudi Falcons & Hunting Exhibition in Riyadh. The event has

already attracted global attention from local and international falconers ahead

of the launch of the International Falcon Breeders Auction, organized by the

Saudi Falcons Club in conjunction with the exhibition's activities, especially

with record numbers recorded in the first edition of the international auction.

The world's most expensive falcon "Gyr Qarmousha" (Falco Rusticolus) was sold

for 1.75 million SAR ($466,000), which was owned by the American falcon

breeding center, Pacific Northwest Falcons, widely regarded as one of the best

falcon farms in the world.

Saudi Arabia prides itself on its position as a global destination for heritage

tourism in the field of falconry, as well as in the field of preserving the

cultural and civilizational heritage of the region. The event is expected to

record a 30% increase in the number of participants and will take place in the

Saudi capital, Riyadh, on August 25th featuring falcon breeding centers from

around the world, including the United States, France, Spain, Poland, Germany,

Denmark, Belgium and the Czech Republic. In addition to their world-class

falcons, Gulf and Saudi Arabian companies will showcase their various products

through the exhibition's 25 pavilions.

Saudi Arabia has succeeded in integrating the financial transactions services

for the products of the exhibition within the electronic payments program,

where all purchases of weapons, ammunition and accessories are made only

through the electronic platform of the Saudi Falcons Club, where the value of

commercial transactions during the exhibition is expected to increase by 25%

compared to last year's figures.

In its fourth edition, the exhibition will run for 10 days and is expected to

see a strong presence of elite falcons and hunting weapons presented for the

first time, in addition to the customized 4x4 vehicles exhibit. A special

pavilion has been allocated for modified and rare four-wheel drive cars, as

well as for four-wheel bikes to meet the different climatic and environmental

conditions facing hunting and outdoor travel enthusiasts. It's expected that

the exhibition will also see the entry of new exhibitors of customized 4x4

vehicles from around the world.
