RIYADH: The Saudi Falcons Club and Sela signed on Thursday a partnership agreement to develop an exhibition center and leisure complex at the club’s headquarters in Malham, north of Riyadh.
The agreement was signed by Hossam Al-Hazimy, CEO of the Saudi Falcons Club, and Sela Managing Director Dr. Rakan Al-Harthy.
According to the agreement, Sela will invest in 9.3 million square meters of the total land, which covers 27.7 million square meters. The investment includes an international exhibition center, desert resort and commercial markets.
Sela will also develop the complex to include an airstrip equipped to receive international delegations and operate and manage the leasing of the hotel, resort and commercial spaces.
In addition to enhancing the revenue potential of the Saudi Falcons Club, the agreement serves to bolster activities and events that contribute to the promotion of Saudi falconry, a press release said.
The exhibition center will host world-leading programs for falconry, helping to preserve traditions and transfer knowledge to the next generation.

Celestial spectacle in KSA’s north on first day of Ramadan
- Venus-crescent moon alignment visible in Northern Borders
- Meteorology center issuing swift weather alerts for pilgrims
ARAR/JEDDAH: The holy month of Ramadan has commenced in the Kingdom with a striking astronomical display in the Northern Borders Region, setting a serene tone for the month, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
In addition, the National Center for Meteorology has confirmed its readiness to support pilgrims in Makkah and Madinah.
On Tuesday evening in Arar there was a rare alignment of the planet Venus with the slender crescent moon marking the first day of Ramadan.
Appearing shortly after sunset, the crescent shimmered low on the western horizon above Venus — one of the brightest celestial bodies — in a display enhanced by clear skies.
While the conjunction is a recurring astronomical phenomenon caused by the apparent proximity of the two bodies as viewed from Earth, its coincidence with the start of the holy month added a special aesthetic and spiritual dimension to the atmosphere in the north, the SPA said.
Meanwhile, as the faithful began fasting, the NMC announced the readiness of its observatories at the Kingdom’s airports to manage increased flight traffic and ensure aviation safety.
The NCM’s CEO Dr. Ayman bin Salem Ghulam said there would be round-the-clock weather monitoring for Makkah, Madinah, and the roads leading to the two holy mosques.
To ensure pilgrims have real-time access to information, the NCM has integrated its data with the Nusuk and Tawakkalna smart applications. Ten-day forecasts and alerts will also be available via the Anwaa app and on guidance boards along highways.
The center has 14 media platforms to deliver swift weather alerts, ensuring high standards of security and logistical support throughout the season, the SPA reported.
