About the event

What is Najah Abu Dhabi?

Najah Abu Dhabi connects students and parents with universities, scholarship providers, vocational institutes and language centres. Visitors can speak to admissions teams directly and attend seminars on applications and scholarships. The 20th edition ran from 18 to 21 October 2026 with the support of the Ministry of Education, and the 2025 edition was also held in October, so October 2027 is expected.

The 2026 edition featured more than 100 universities from over 20 countries and 30-plus seminar sessions. Universities compete for the attention of the same students, so short reels, campus-style stand content and quick stories help them reach students on the social platforms they use most, before and after the fair.
