The International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2026 is adding a new dimension to its visitor experience this year, with military displays presented by the Ministry of Interior forming part of the accompanying program, according to a report by Al Riyadh newspaper. The displays give visitors the chance to watch live performances woven into the exhibition's daily schedule, alongside the falconry, hunting, heritage, travel and adventure activities that define the event.
The military shows run on two daily slots, at 4:30 pm and 7 pm, while a silent female platoon performs at 5:30 pm and the military music band takes the stage at 6 pm and 8 pm. The arrangement spreads the performances across the afternoon and evening, allowing visitors to move between the exhibition halls and the display areas without missing other parts of the program.
The exhibition, organised by the Saudi Falcons Club, is held at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, running from 1 to 10 October 2026. Its tenth edition builds on a format that has grown steadily over the years, combining commercial pavilions, live demonstrations and heritage experiences that draw visitors from across the Kingdom and beyond.
For visitors, the military displays represent a departure from the traditional exhibition circuit, where falconry and hunting equipment usually dominate attention. Placing live military performances within the same daily rhythm as falconry auctions and desert driving experiences gives the event a broader appeal, reaching audiences who come for the spectacle as much as for the trade.
The addition reflects a wider pattern in this year's edition, where organisers have expanded the range of experiences on offer, from horseback riding and camel racing to broadcasting coverage and transport services for visitors. The military displays now sit alongside those elements as part of a program designed to keep visitors engaged throughout the day.
