I thought the Cairo Uni was the best in the Arab world....

But that does make sense, because King Saud Uni has more money in it that any other Uni in the mid-east. And it has foreign national teachers.

It totally depends on your nationality.

Actually, Al Faisal University is now no.1 in the Arab world. It's certificates are received from Harvard University, and all their staff are foreigners.

However, the quality of Education is way less than that in Egypt.

No necessarily, the quality of education is a reflection of personal taste.

Cairo is one of the oldest, but I doubt that the quality of the Education is near as good as the quality the Saudis can afford to buy, I mean their wealth is perspicuous.

My friend, I live in KSA and I'm Egyptian. I know best..

Unis here are only better in terms of campus, electronics, etc.. NOTHING MORE.

Saudis, with all their wealth, do not care about education, unlike Egyptians.

That's why Egyptian Unis are better.

But as I said, it all depends on his/her personality.

My advice is to do your undergraduate studies in India, and do your post somewhere else.

Cause I promise you, you'll regret it if you went to Uni in Saudi Arabia

Then you should not even consider KSA. The Uni is quite good though....

Try IIT in India...

Dude
American University of Shaarjah has a fantastic brand name and i am sure education level there is amazing.
Dont think too much about rankings, i mean King Fahd university of petroleum (KFUPM) is the top university of MENA region yet my father says some of their students are stupid .

Good luck and cheers :)
