Destination Africa Cairo

Destination Africa in Cairo is an annual industry gathering for experts and trade visitors from the textile, apparel and home textile manufacturing sectors across Africa. It takes place at the Egypt International Exhibition Center. The Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC) is one of Egypt’s most important venues for major trade fairs, conferences and international events. Located in New Cairo, the modern complex features spacious exhibition halls, flexible conference facilities and a high-performance technical infrastructure. By hosting prestigious international events, the EIEC makes a significant contribution to strengthening Egypt’s position as a major hub for business, trade and innovation in the Middle East and Africa.

Founded in 2016, the event quickly developed into a key platform for exchanging knowledge and innovations and exploring business opportunities. Destination Africa is an international sourcing event exclusively aimed at a limited number of invited trade visitors. It showcases African manufacturers offering ready-to-wear clothing for women, men and children, as well as textiles and fabrics for apparel and home interiors, including bed and table linen, curtains, carpets and upholstery fabrics. This exclusive B2B event provides visitors from the USA and Europe, in particular, with a wide range of opportunities to purchase goods from a single source, duty-free and at significantly reduced prices, through the International Buyers Program.

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is a historic metropolis where the ancient world meets modern life. With its pyramids, the Nile and countless historic sites, it attracts millions of tourists every year. The city is not only a cultural center but also an important economic hub in the MENA region.

ExpoLink, the organizer of the trade fair, is a renowned company in the exhibition and events industry with an impressive track record of organizing first-class events in the region.

The Destination Africa will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 14. November to Sunday, 15. November 2026 in Cairo.
