Why attend

The English UK Fair, Dead Sea Jordan 2012 is organised by English UK, the world's leading language teaching association, in partnership with the British Council, UK Trade & Investment and VisitBritain. The success and popularity of the English UK Fairs is based on their unique small size and friendly atmosphere.
