Diriyah Gate Development Authority will take part in the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2026 as the event's official Heritage Partner, appearing under the theme "A Legacy Inherited" when the exhibition runs in Riyadh from 1 to 10 October 2026, according to the organizer's announcement.
The authority's participation centers on the At-Turaif District, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2010, where it will present an interactive pavilion introducing visitors to the historical and cultural value of the site and to the wider living heritage of Diriyah, which served as the seat of rule for the First Saudi State. The pavilion forms part of the exhibition's annual initiative to introduce the Kingdom's World Heritage sites and highlight their historical and cultural significance.
Visitors move through a sequence that opens with digital and visual content on the architectural, cultural and historical dimensions of At-Turaif, alongside material on the history of the imams of the First Saudi State and the values associated with them, before concluding with an experience inspired by Saudi hospitality and Arabic calligraphy that extends the cultural narrative tied to Diriyah and its heritage.
The exhibition, held at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Mulham, is described by its organizers as the largest of its kind worldwide for falconry, travel and related equipment, drawing enthusiasts, specialists and relevant entities from inside and outside the Kingdom each year while supporting investment opportunities and partnerships across the sectors it covers.
