The ninth edition of the Katara International Hunting and Falcons Exhibition, branded as S’hail 2025, kicked off in Doha on September 10, 2025, running through September 14.
Hosted at Katara Cultural Village, this exhibition brings together 21 countries and more than 200 companies (local, regional, international) showcasing hunting weapons & equipment, falconry supplies, and gear for camping and desert/safari expeditions.
One significant feature this year is the increased area: the pavilion space has expanded by 2,000 square meters compared to the prior edition, responding to growing exhibitor demand.
The expo is structured into zones:
- Zone A: official bodies, nature reserves, ministries, and 4×4 vehicle firms.
- Zone B: weaponry and hunting rifles.
- Zone C: caravans, desert & safari equipment, plus camping/outdoor gear.
- There is also a European section and a special tent for weapons & ammunition (with orderly licensing & admission processes).
In addition to pure display of goods, S’hail 2025 offers cultural programmes: scientific talks, workshops, artistry around falconry & heritage, literary evenings, fine arts components, and veterinary support for falcons.
The exhibition draws both B2B and public interest. Visitors can see rare species of falcons, live demonstrations, and purchase or learn about high-end handcrafted products & technological innovations in hunting/falconry gear.
Admission is free. The exhibition hours run 10 am to 10 pm (except Fridays, when it opens at 2 pm) and online booking is available via the S’hail app for smoother visitor experience.
For those interested in exhibitions of cultural heritage, outdoor industries, and specialist gear, S’hail 2025 is a prime example of how such events blend commerce, tradition, education, and spectacle. For Exhibition Globe readers, this exhibition illustrates best practices in zoning, international participation, visitor programming, and heritage marketing.
