Falcon sold for SAR 104,000 at National Falcons Auction 2026

The 22nd night of the National Falcons Auction 2026, organized by the National Center for Falcons and running until November 30, drew a large turnout of falconry enthusiasts.

The evening featured the auction of a young sea peregrine falcon, caught south of Al Lith and offered by ten trappers. Bidding started at 50,000 riyals before the bird was sold for 104,000 riyals.

The auction is limited to locally caught juvenile migratory sea peregrine falcons, excluding horned peregrines and saker falcons to support their sustainability and preserve their breeds.

Locally trapped falcons will continue to be accepted 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 trappers throughout the trapping season. Center teams across various regions receive the falcon owners and cover their accommodation and transportation to the auction venue. The falcons are then presented in a fast-paced, competitive auction broadcast live on TV and the center's social media accounts.
