The Katara International Hunting and Falcons Exhibition, S’hail 2024, continues to attract hunting en-thusiasts and falconry lovers from Qatar and abroad. In its eighth edition, the exhibition has estab-lished itself as a leading event in the Gulf and the Middle East, offering an unforgettable experience in hunting and falconry.
Several dignitaries, officials, and ambassadors accredited to the state visited the exhibition on Wednesday.
S’hail plays an important role in supporting the local economy by attracting both local and international companies, creating job opportunities, and boosting commercial activity in Qatar. The exhibition also provides a platform for local traders and manufacturers to showcase their products and services, en-hancing the visibility of Qatari products.
Vice Chairman of the exhibitions organizing committee Mohammed bin Abdul Latif Al Misnad told Qa-tar News Agency (QNA) that the organizing committee has succeeded in making S’hail a prime destina-tion for traditional and modern hunting enthusiasts.
This year, the exhibition features 171 companies from 19 countries, including three countries partici-pating for the first time: Poland, China, and Australia.
He emphasized the importance of attracting specialized companies to meet every visitor’s needs, as the exhibition showcases the latest innovations in hunting and camping equipment, falcon breeding farms, falconry tools, and the latest hunting weapons and vehicles.
He also highlighted that the organizing committee always strives to expand participation to include new countries and companies, promoting competition between local and international firms and providing a variety of options for falconry enthusiasts.
On the second day, two raffles were held for children aged 10 to 16, giving them the chance to win special falcons. Al Misnad noted that the aim of this raffle is to instill the heritage of falconry in the younger generation, encouraging them to connect with the traditions of their ancestors. The organiz-ing committee explained that participants must obtain a free entry ticket and be present at the exhibi-tion during the raffle to enter. The raffles are held on the second, third, and fourth days of the exhibi-tion at 8:00 p.m.
