Abu Dhabi police announce traffic points cut for attendees of ADIHEX 2025

The Abu Dhabi Police have announced the introduction of a traffic point reduction service at the 22nd edition of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) 2025, which kicked off on Saturday at the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.

The Police Follow-up and Aftercare Department of the Abu Dhabi Police has invited the public to benefit from the services of the Traffic Points Programme by attending workshops and courses in Hall 12 from August 30 to September 7, 2025.

The Abu Dhabi Police explained that the services include two programmes. The first reduces 8 traffic points if there are fewer than 24 on a driving licence. The second restores a driving licence if the driver has accumulated 24 points. Drivers can enrol on educational courses to achieve this, after paying the prescribed course fees.

ADIHEX 2025 is set to be the largest exhibition yet, held under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Falconers’ Club. It is organised by ADNEC Group, a Modon Holding company, in cooperation with the Emirates Falconers’ Club.

This year’s exhibition is expected to be the largest in the event’s history since its launch in 2003. Running for nine days from 11am-10pm daily, ADIHEX 2025 will feature a diverse programme including falconry auctions, camel racing and equestrian shows.

The event will welcome enthusiasts, experts and exhibitors from around the world, with local and international participation from leading specialised companies and brands across 15 diverse sectors, showcasing the latest global equipment and technologies.

Across the nine days participants and visitors will have the opportunity to take part in a diverse array of unique seminars, discussions, competitions and events.

The event will focus on the importance of sustainable hunting practices in the 21st century, with attendees able to learn about the UAE’s commitment towards conversation practices and the protection of local wildlife. The latest innovative sustainability solutions will be showcased during the event, with exhibitors keen to highlight the UAE’s pivotal role in upholding traditional sustainable hunting practices.

This year, the total exhibition area of ADIHEX will increase by 7% to 92,000 square metres – an increase of 7% compared to the previous year. The number of countries participating in ADIHEX 2025 has grown to 68, with 11 new countries participating.

ADIHEX has introduced four new sectors for 2025. The Camel sector celebrates the regional heritage associated with camels, while the Arabian Saluki sector honours the breed’s cultural significance. A Knives sector will showcase traditional hunting knives, and the Souq area features traditional crafts and products.
