A long-standing and productive event, which celebrated twenty years in 2026, ICEF Dubai enables educators and service providers from around the world to meet with quality, ICEF-accredited agents specialised in student recruitment from across the MENA region.
This important and diverse region, with its large, youthful population – around 50% of which is under the age of 24 – continues to represent a significant opportunity. With governments across the region placing a strong focus on international education in order to address a significant skills gap, growing demand has been evident in 15+ countries including Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and United Arab Emirates.
For this event, ICEF only accepts agencies that have achieved ICEF Agency Status, our most rigorous screening and reference checking process.
