ADIHEX 2026 Abu Dhabi: Dates, Tickets, Venue and Visitor Guide

ADIHEX Abu Dhabi dates, hours and venue

The Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition is a public and trade event centred on hunting traditions, equestrian pursuits, outdoor life, heritage and conservation. ADIHEX and ADNEC both confirm the 28 August–6 September dates.

• Venue: ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.
• Halls in use: Halls 1–11 and the ICC Hall, so comfortable footwear and a planned route are sensible.

ADIHEX’s current event page shows 10:00 AM–10:00 PM.

A separate Visit Abu Dhabi listing currently displays a shorter closing time, so treat the organizer’s page and your ticket as the final reference rather than relying on an old screenshot or third-party calendar.

Visitors travelling in can compare flights to Abu Dhabi and hotels in Abu Dhabi before choosing an event day.

ADIHEX tickets and planning your visit

Use the Buy Your Ticket 2026 button on the official ADIHEX website. Tickets start from AED 35.

Keep the ticket or confirmation available on your phone and follow any delivery instructions shown at checkout.

If you are planning to buy regulated goods such as knives, hunting guns or airguns, ADIHEX publishes separate downloadable guidelines for each category on its 2026 guidelines page.

Reconfirm the specific requirements directly with the organizer before buying, and do not assume admission establishes that a visitor may buy or transport every displayed item.

Which ADIHEX zones should you prioritise?

The official event page lists 15 sectors. Rather than attempting every aisle at once, group them by interest and use the official interactive map to locate halls, stands and features.

Current features promoted by ADIHEX include the Emirati Etiquette and Arabic Coffee Preparation Learning Zone, Young Falconers Village, Arabian Saluki Zone, art workshops, Archery Range, Shooting Simulation, Arena, Falcon Auction, Knowledge Hub and Shooting Range.

Daily participation details have not all been published as fixed schedules, so build your plan from the live programme close to the visit.

Family visit, dress code and accessibility

ADIHEX describes the event as suitable for all ages, with activities including falcon handling, creative workshops and Emirati etiquette sessions. Families should still check the programme for age, capacity or supervision rules attached to individual activities.

Dress code

ADIHEX’s 2026 guidelines page encourages traditional attire or smart casual clothing and states that visitors wearing shorts, sleeveless tops or revealing clothing will not be permitted entry. Check the current entry terms before visiting, since dress rules can be adjusted close to the event.

Accessibility and facilities

ADNEC lists baby-changing facilities in accessible toilets and nursing rooms between Halls 7–8 and Halls 1–2. It also keeps a small number of wheelchairs at the First Aid Point in the Hall 8 concourse, loaned free with photo ID on a first come, first served basis.

Wheelchairs cannot be reserved in advance, and the First Aid point itself is between Halls 7 and 8. Visitors needing specific assistance should contact the venue before travel rather than assume equipment will be available.

How to reach ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi

• By car: the ADIHEX event listing names Car Parks A and B. Car Park A is near Aloft and the ICC; Car Park B is near Andaz Capital Gate.
• By public bus: ADNEC says bus 040 serves the venue seven days a week. Check the transport authority’s live route and fare before leaving.
• By taxi: ADNEC lists taxis near the adjacent Aloft and Andaz entrances and gives the Abu Dhabi taxi booking number as 600 53 53 53.
• From the airport: ADNEC describes the venue as about 15 minutes from Zayed International Airport, but road time depends on traffic.

Large-event arrival and exit periods can be busy. Save the entrance or car-park location, agree on a pickup point, and leave a buffer before any fixed onward booking.
