S’hail has emerged as an international hub for hunting and falcon enthusiasts from all over the world.
The exhibition is one of the largest international exhibitions specialised in falcons, which includes numerous activities and events; namely, falcon auction and exhibitions for falcons and haunting. It attracts merchants and buyers who have come to check the latest technologies in this field. S’hail exhibition takes its name from a star which signals the start of the hunting season and which hunters eagerly await to shine in the sky to begin their journey.
