Expands its footprint into the GCC with the launch of EDU GATE Riyadh  

Riyadh, Jan 20, 2026: Following the success of its previous editions in Cairo, Egypt, EDU GATE is expanding its footprint into the GCC with the launch of EDU GATE Riyadh 2026. The university fair will take place from February 1–2, 2026, at Madareem Hotel, Riyadh.  

EDU GATE Cairo attracts thousands of students and parents while hosting top local and international universities. Over the years, the fair has earned its reputation by offering direct access to decision-makers, personalised academic guidance and clear pathways to higher education, helping students make confident, informed choices about their future.  

Now, EDU GATE brings this model to Saudi Arabia. EDU GATE Riyadh is designed to serve high school students, graduates and parents who are seeking high-quality educational opportunities both locally and internationally. The exhibition will feature a diverse portfolio of universities and educational institutions, presenting a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate and specialised programmes.  

Visitors will have the opportunity to meet university representatives face-to-face, explore admission requirements, discover scholarship and funding options, and compare multiple institutions.  

Aligned with Saudi Arabia’s growing focus on education and human capital development, EDU GATE Riyadh aims to become a key annual destination for students planning their academic journey.
