Doha: The 9th edition of the Katara International Hunting & Falcons Exhibition “S’hail 2025” continues to attract remarkable public turnout, as participating companies compete to present the latest innovations and equipment that meet the needs of hunting and falconry enthusiasts-blending the fragrance of authentic Qatari heritage with the most advanced global technologies.
Vice Chairman of the S’hail Supreme Committee, Abdul Latif bin Mohammed Al Misnad pointed out that this year’s edition witnesses extensive international participation, including major companies from across continents, showcasing the latest technologies in falconry, hunting weapons, vehicle modifications, camping, outdoor supplies, and falcon breeding farms.
Al Misnad added, “This great diversity reflects the exhibition’s position as an important economic platform that opens new markets, stimulates healthy competition between local and global companies, and enhances global confidence in Qatar as a pioneering destination in this field.”
He stressed that “S’hail’s value goes beyond its economic and technological aspects, extending to cultural, tourism, and humanitarian dimensions.” The exhibition, he noted, fosters human connections, revives bonds of fraternity and friendship among peoples, and highlights falconry as a global human heritage, registered on Unesco’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
