Annual Oman Cultural Immersion Program

Malone Fellowship Oman Cultural Immersion ProgramThe National Council's Malone Fellows in Arab and Islamic Studies Annual Cultural Immersion Program in Oman provides a privileged first hand exposure to one of the most historically and culturally rich of all Arab and Islamic societies. The study visit unfolds primarily in half a dozen different regions outside the Sultanate’s capital of Muscat. It does so in order to allow delegation members to experience the dynamics of what is not only one of the Arab world’s most demographically, geographically, economically, and socially diverse countries. It does so also because of Oman’s position adjacent to the Hormuz Strait, arguably the world’s most strategically vital waterway.
