The 2026/2027 Ghayathi Falconry Competition, organized by the Abu Dhabi Falconers’ Club with the support and sponsorship of the Office of the Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region, will run from 21 to 30 December 2026. The event features a comprehensive programme of main and accompanying rounds. Competitions will be held in the General Open and General Owners categories, across the Farkh and Gernas age groups, and will include various falcon types: Gyr-Saker, Gyr-Peregrine, Pure Gyr, and Gyr-Lanner.

The programme also features special and newly introduced rounds, including two rounds dedicated to the International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, as well as a round for Al Dhafra Region-bred falcons. Competitions will also include rounds for residents of Al Dhafra Region and junior participants, plus a local-breeding round for Farkh-age Pure Gyr and Pure Gyr-Lanner falcons. The Ghayathi Falconry Competition’s new falconry flag event, held on the final day, will bring the competition to a close and crown its champions.
