H.E. Abdullah Mubarak Al Muhairi, Acting Director General of the Abu Dhabi Heritage Authority, affirmed that this achievement reflects the fruitful partnership between the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, the Abu Dhabi Heritage Authority, and ADNEC Group. It goes beyond simply setting a record; it is a culmination of our national efforts to preserve the Emirati falconry heritage, which is an integral part of our national identity, and to ensure it is passed on to future generations. We are proud to add another accomplishment to the list of achievements of the United Arab Emirates and highlight Abu Dhabi’s pioneering efforts in preserving Emirati heritage.
