Finally we then attended the IECHE fair in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This was a big fair with lots of students and universities represented from all over the world. Maastricht University was present at the HAEC booth alongside the Universities of Twente, Wageningen and Groningen. We enjoyed the culture and kind-nature of the Saudi Arabian people. The fair was a big success due in part to the help from the Dutch embassy in Riyadh and the good work by the Ministry of Higher Education in Saudi Arabia. See photos of the cutting of the ribbon, the general fair and some pictures of around Riyadh.
