Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development, today visited the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, ADIHEX 2017 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, which is being held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in the Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Falconers Club.

During his visit, he had firsthand experience of the participation of the H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Zayed Al Nahyan's Global Arabian Flat Racing Festival in the exhibition, in light of its organisers’ belief in the importance of competitions involving thoroughbred Arabian horses, being among the time-honoured traditional heritage sports that are closely linked to the UAE and its history.

He also viewed the efforts of the Hamdan bin Mohammed Heritage Centre.

During his tour of the exhibition’s pavilions, he expressed his admiration for the level of organisation, the number of participants and the contents of the pavilions. He also visited several local and international pavilions that showcased various hunting equipment, and he was briefed by their organisers about their products.
