The shooting range at the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2026 has expanded its floor space and broadened the range of activities on offer to visitors, opening its doors at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham with a turnout that the pavilion described as strong from the first hours of operation.
Osama Al-Harthy, the official overseeing the pavilion, said the range has grown year after year in step with rising visitor numbers and a larger pool of participating companies, noting that the turnout recorded in the previous edition encouraged the team to add space and introduce new experiences this year. He explained that the range is built around a mix of training and entertainment, allowing visitors to learn about shooting and hunting activities and try them in a safe setting, with formats designed to suit different age groups, including shooting, a hunting simulation and virtual reality alongside other interactive stations.
Al-Harthy described the flow of visitors in the opening hour as distinctive and said he hoped the momentum would hold over the coming days, praising the organisers for their work in developing the exhibition and sustaining it year after year. «The turnout in the first hour was exceptional, and we look forward to the same pace in the days ahead,» he said.
The exhibition, organised by the Saudi Falcons Club and running from 1 to 10 October 2026, is the largest specialised gathering of its kind worldwide, bringing together the heritage of falconry and hunting with desert travel and camping activities in a single cultural and entertainment experience, and offering visitors a wide selection of falcons, hunting tools and supplies alongside programmes tailored to families and enthusiasts.
