Embark on an enriching educational expedition through the vibrant and diverse Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Discover the fascinating blend of ancient history, modern ambition, and rich cultural heritage across three remarkable countries: Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Morocco.
This tour is your gateway to connecting with ambitious students, engaged parents, and dedicated high school counselors across the MENA region. Our itinerary features a mix of high school visits, interactive networking sessions, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships with the local educational community.
In selected cities, we will also host Mini College Fairs in collaboration with EducationUSA and local U.S. Embassy initiatives, providing a platform for you to showcase your institution and engage with high-achieving students exploring international education opportunities.

From experiencing the rich traditions and rapid transformation of Saudi Arabia to exploring the Mediterranean charm of Tunisia and wandering through Morocco’s historic medinas and vibrant markets, this journey offers unforgettable moments across the region.
And of course, the EdTour team—self-proclaimed food lovers—will guide you through a culinary journey featuring some of the most memorable flavors of the Middle East and North Africa.
