From September 10 to 14, 2025, the S’hail Katara International Hunting and Falcons Exhibition opened its doors at the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar. The event draws visitors to explore displays of falcons, hunting gear, accessories, and broader heritage tied to falconry and hunting traditions.
The exhibition is more than just display—over multiple days, guests can observe live falcons, interact with handlers, and see demonstrations that highlight the craftsmanship, training, and cultural importance of these birds.
Vendor stalls feature hunting accessories and related equipment, giving attendees both visual appeal and opportunities for purchase or exchange of knowledge all about falconry tools and preservation of associated skills.
The location—Katara Cultural Village—is well suited, with its emphasis on culture and heritage, offering a setting that connects the exhibition to both tradition and public engagement.
Organisers seem to intend this exhibition to be both educational and experiential: besides viewing, there are moments for visitors to understand the history, biology, and ethical dimensions connected with falconry and hunting practices. (This is inferred from live bird displays plus heritage context.)
For stakeholders in wildlife, cultural heritage, exhibition design, and tourism, the show provides a model of how exhibitions can bridge living tradition and modern audience expectations.
Given its duration and structure, the exhibition contributes to cultural tourism—attracting local and international visitors interested in falconry, craft, and Middle Eastern heritage.
Exhibition Globe highlights this event as a prime example of how exhibitions anchored in cultural identity, live animals, and heritage can generate both awareness and dialogue, while preserving traditional practices.
