Al Owais added that hosting the exhibition in Al Dhaid strengthens the Central Region’s position as a destination for enthusiasts of equestrianism, falconry and camel racing. It also provides specialist national companies with an opportunity to showcase their products and expand their customer base, supporting commercial activity while responding to growing interest in sectors associated with Emirati heritage.

At the same time, visitors benefit from having a range of specialist companies under one roof, helping them explore available options in care, breeding, stable equipment, transportation and falconry supplies, as well as the expertise of organisations operating across these sectors.
