Arar:A young peregrine falcon, referred to as a farkh shaheen, was sold for an impressive SAR375,000 during the eighth night of the 2026 National Center for Falcons Auction. This sale marked the highest price recorded at the event so far, which is scheduled to continue until November 30 and aligns with the falcon trapping season.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the falcon was captured by a group of seven trappers in the Umm Khansar area of Arar. The auction for this prized bird began with an opening bid of SAR110,000, ultimately escalating to the final sale price of SAR375,000.
The National Center for Falcons continues to welcome locally trapped falcons, offering accommodation and transportation for trappers to the auction venue. The auction proceedings are also being broadcast on television and various social media platforms, allowing a wider audience to follow the event.
