Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Visits Katara Hunting and Falcons Exhibition in Doha
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the United Arab Emirates, visited the ninth edition of the Katara International Hunting and Falcons Exhibition (S’hail 2025) in Qatar.
The visit, which took place during an official trip to Doha, was conducted alongside Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al-Thani, President of the Qatar Olympic Committee. S’hail, a prominent event on the regional calendar, gathers international and Qatari companies specializing in hunting, falconry, and outdoor equipment.
During the tour, Sheikh Hamdan was briefed on the latest technological advancements and artisanal products in the sector, as well as the exhibition’s cultural programming. The event showcases traditional practices deeply rooted in Gulf heritage, particularly those related to falconry - a symbol of pride and identity across the Arabian Peninsula.
The Crown Prince also visited the Bird Market, where premier falcons bred by local farms were displayed, and toured the pavilion of the Souq Waqif Falcon Hospital, one of the region’s foremost veterinary institutions dedicated to the care of birds of prey.
Sheikh Hamdan commended the exhibition for its role in preserving cultural traditions while also serving as a platform for economic growth and investment in the heritage industries.
