Peregrine Falcon Sells for SAR375,000 at National Center for Falcons Auction

A young peregrine falcon, known as a farkh shaheen, sold for SAR375,000 on the eighth night of the 2026 National Center for Falcons Auction, the highest price recorded so far at the event, which runs until November 30 and coincides with the trapping season.
The falcon, captured by seven trappers in the Umm Khansar area of Arar, drew an opening bid of SAR110,000 before selling for SAR375,000.
The center continues to receive locally trapped falcons and provide accommodation and transportation for trappers to the auction venue. The auction is also broadcast on television and social media platforms.
