Frequently asked questions

Why are some event dates not shown?

A date is shown only once the organiser or an official source has published it. An announced date that later moves makes people miss a filing deadline, so unconfirmed editions read "dates to be confirmed".

Where do the auction prices come from?

From official press reports, such as those of the Saudi Press Agency, recorded in the Saqr Index with their source. Only the lots actually published appear, so they are benchmarks rather than a full market price.

Can I buy or sell a falcon through SaqrBridge at these events?

No. SaqrBridge is neither seller, buyer nor guarantor. It documents the events and the rules around them; transactions happen between the parties and the organiser.

What should I prepare before bringing a falcon to an event abroad?

The import permit of the destination country comes before the export permit for an Appendix I specimen, and veterinary tests and the clinical examination have short validity windows. Export Check gives the order and the counters for a given route.
