The General Directorate of Narcotics Control is participating in the Ministry of Interior's pavilion at the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2026, which runs from 1 to 10 October 2026 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, north of the capital, under the slogan "An Experience for Everyone".
The directorate's presence inside the Interior Ministry pavilion is aimed at strengthening community resilience against drugs, highlighting prevention pathways, and explaining the mechanisms available for reporting traffickers and smugglers, while also showcasing the efforts of security agencies in confronting the issue, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The exhibition is organised by the National Center for Falcons, the body responsible for developing the sector and running the country's main falconry programmes, and it has grown into one of the largest gatherings of its kind for breeders, hunters and enthusiasts of heritage sports. Its halls bring together government pavilions, live falconry displays, hunting equipment, equestrian and camel experiences, and a daily broadcast presence that carries the event's atmosphere to a wider audience beyond the venue.
Participation by Interior Ministry sectors in major public events reflects a broader approach that treats such gatherings as a direct channel to reach families and young visitors with awareness messages, rather than limiting outreach to official campaigns. The narcotics file in particular benefits from this setting, where the audience is already engaged and receptive, and where security personnel can explain reporting channels face to face.
The exhibition opens daily to visitors at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, with the tenth of October marking its final day.
