Al Asayl Exhibition 2025 draws big crowds and exhibitor praise

Organised by Expo Centre Sharjah with support from the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), the exhibition gathers over 250 companies and brands specialising in horse, camel, and falcon supplies. The event features equestrian and falconry displays alongside heritage-focused activities, offering a dynamic blend of tradition and innovation.

Falcon auction: A major highlight

One of the standout features of this year’s edition is the Falcon Auction, which drew strong participation from falconers and breeders across the UAE and Gulf region. Competitive bidding for premium and rare falcons such as Shaheen, Gyr-Shaheen, Gyr-Tiba, and pure Gyr falcons reaffirmed the exhibition’s role as a hub for regional falconry enthusiasts.

They highlighted the exhibition’s value as a venue to promote products, enhance visibility, and build new business partnerships.
