With a substantial prize sum of SAR60 million, the AlUla Falcon Cup stands as the most lucrative competition of its kind worldwide. Distinguished local and international falconers will compete across four categories in the Al-Milwah and Al-Mazayen contests.

This event serves as a platform to honor the legacy of the Kingdom’s falconers, celebrating their cherished cultural tradition while showcasing it globally. Furthermore, it emphasizes environmental awareness, wildlife conservation, and offers crucial support to local falconers, fostering their continuous growth and skill enhancement.
