About ISF Middle East

ATEX International of Dubai runs the ISF sports and fitness shows. It held four editions in the Gulf, two in the UAE and two in Kuwait, before the series came to Cairo with Zain in 2019.

ISF Middle East is a trade show for manufacturers, distributors and service providers in sports and fitness. For 2019 the show floor had two zones, Fitness and Sports, covering outdoor sports, urban sports, team sports, fitness and health, combat sports and facilities.
