A rare falcon has made headlines at the International Falcon Breeders Auction in Riyadh, where it was sold for a record-breaking Rs. 90 crore (SR1.2 million / $320,000). The bird, a super white pure gyr farkh from the US-based RX farm, became the most expensive falcon sold at this year’s prestigious event.

The auction, organized by the Saudi Falcons Club, has become a key platform for breeders from across the globe, attracting buyers and enthusiasts while also preserving the Kingdom’s rich falconry heritage. Experts believe that such events not only boost falconry culture but also strengthen the national economy by drawing international attention and investment.

Falconry remains an integral part of Arabian tradition, and with social media spreading its popularity, more young people are getting involved in this centuries-old heritage. The Riyadh auction continues until Monday, showcasing some of the finest falcons worldwide.
