Dabdaba falcon sells for SAR 106,000 at National Falcons Auction

The third night of the 2026 National Falcons Auction was held this evening, organized by the National Falcons Center and running until November 30. The event attracted a large audience of falconry heritage enthusiasts.

The highlight of the night was the auction of a young peregrine falcon from the Dabdaba area in Hafar Al-Batin, presented by four falconers. Bidding started at 60,000 riyals (SAR) and the bird was ultimately sold for 106,000 riyals.

The auction is limited to young migratory peregrine falcons caught within the Kingdom, and does not include adult peregrines or saker falcons, in order to support their sustainability and preserve their breeds.

Locally caught falcons will continue to be received 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 Falcons Center offers a range of comprehensive services and benefits to falconers throughout the season. Center teams in various regions receive the falcon owners and the center covers accommodation and transportation to the auction site. Each falcon is presented in a fast-paced, competitive auction broadcast live on TV and the center’s social media accounts.
