EDGE Returns to ADIHEX 2026 with CARACAL’s UAE-made Commercial Firearms and Hunting Rifles

• CARACAL will present its commercial pistol and rifle range, locally produced ammunition from CARACAL LIGHT AMMUNITION, and luxury hunting rifles from Merkel

Abu Dhabi, UAE: 25 August 2026 – EDGE entity CARACAL, a regional leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance small arms, will take part in the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX 2026) this month, marking the company’s 19th appearance at the region’s foremost hunting and equestrian showcase.

The company returns as Weaponry Sponsor of the exhibition’s 23rd edition, where it will present its commercial pistol and rifle portfolio alongside small-calibre ammunition produced by its subsidiary CARACAL LIGHT AMMUNITION (CLA), the only small-calibre ammunition manufacturer in the UAE. Visitors will also find luxury hunting rifles from Merkel, CARACAL’s German subsidiary, which has been building precisely balanced sporting rifles for more than a century.

Hamad Al Ameri, CEO of CARACAL, said: “Building high-performance commercial firearms here in the UAE sits at the centre of what CARACAL does, and ADIHEX is where that work meets the people it is made for. The exhibition brings us into direct contact with the hunters, sports shooters, and collectors who make up this community, and what they tell us shapes how our products develop. From our pistol and rifle range through to ammunition produced locally by CLA, every item on our stand has been engineered to meet the standards Emirati enthusiasts expect, and to reflect a hunting heritage this country has carried for generations.”

The wider Merkel selection takes in the Helix Speedster, Helix Black, and Helix Noblesse, the K5 single-shot rifle, the Jaeger bolt-action rifle, and Anschütz hunting rifles. CARACAL will also show several configurations of Liwa Arms’ Chayeh Z20, the Chayeh Z22 ‘Saktoon’, and its own 2011 pistol across a range of build options.

CARACAL and CLA will be located in Hall 3, Stand 20 from 28th August to 6th September at the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.
