Top 200 Universities in Arabic-speaking countries

Introduction

What are the most popular Universities in Arabic-speaking countries? uniRank answers this question by publishing the 2025 uniRank World University Ranking, featuring the top 200 higher-education institutions in English-speaking countries that meet the following uniRank selection criteria:

being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in each country
offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format

uniRank aims to provide a non-academic League Table of the top Arabic-speaking Universities in the world based on valid, unbiased and non-influenceable web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources rather than data submitted by the Universities themselves.
