His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, visited the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition 2025 (ADIHEX) on Saturday at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
Now in its twenty second and largest edition, ADIHEX has grown into the Middle East and Africa’s leading annual event for hunting, equestrian sports, and cultural heritage. Spanning 92,000 square metres, it brings together brands from 68 countries, making it a truly global gathering.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan described the exhibition as more than a cultural or sporting event and said, "It shows how we preserve our heritage and pass it on to future generations in a modern way that safeguards our identity. The exhibition reflects the legacy of our forefathers, reinforces the UAE’s commitment to sustainability, and highlights the creativity of Emirati youth. We want this exhibition to remain a model in bringing the world together around the values of sport, environment and heritage, and an event that reaffirms the UAE’s position as a bridge between past and future, and between tradition and modernity".
During his visit, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan toured key pavilions, including the Caracal pavilion of EDGE Group and the Al Ghadeer Crafts pavilion of the Emirates Red Crescent, and reviewed new products, cultural initiatives, and heritage projects, while meeting participants from across the UAE and abroad.
