Two falcons sold for SAR 182,000 at National Falcons Auction

Two young Shaheen falcons were sold for a total of 182,000 riyals (SAR) on the 14th night of the 2026 National Falcons Auction, organized by the National Center for Falcons and running until November 30. The event attracted a large audience of falconry enthusiasts.

The evening began with the first falcon, a young Shaheen from the Al-Dabdaba region, which was brought in by six falconers. Bidding started at 50,000 riyals, and the bird was ultimately sold for 101,000 riyals. The night concluded with the second young Shaheen falcon, sourced from Al-Hani (Al-Ahsa), presented by Mansour Al-Mutairi and Abdulmajeed Al-Harbi, which sold for 81,000 riyals.

The auction is limited to young migratory Shaheen falcons caught within the Kingdom, and does not include adult Shaheen or Saker falcons, in support of their sustainability and preservation of their breeds.

Locally sourced falcons will continue to be accepted at the auction for two months. The auction nights are broadcast on television channels and social media platforms, allowing falconers and enthusiasts to follow the event.

The National Center for Falcons provides a range of comprehensive services and benefits to falconers throughout the season. Center teams across various regions receive the falcon owners and arrange accommodation and transportation to the auction venue. Each falcon is presented in a fast-paced, competitive auction broadcast live on TV and the center’s social media accounts.
