Najah Abu Dhabi 2027

Najah Abu Dhabi is the flagship edition of Najah Expo, Informa Connect's higher education fair, which has run in the UAE capital for nearly two decades. The 21st edition returns to ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi for four days, with university admissions teams, embassies and education bodies on hand to help students and families plan their next step, supported by the UAE's higher education ministry.

Who should visit

The fair is aimed at the people making or guiding a study decision: secondary school students and their parents, teachers and school counsellors, and graduates weighing a master's or other postgraduate programme. Weekday mornings are reserved for school group visits, with the general public welcome later in the day.

Seminars and guidance
