    21st Annual Oman Cultural Immersion Program

    An Omani dhow approaches Khawr Ash-Sham.The National Council is preparing for its Malone Fellows in Arab and Islamic Studies 21st Annual Cultural Immersion Program in Oman. The study visit is scheduled for February 24 - March 8, 2017, with a pre-departure orientation program in Washington on February 22 and 23. The study visit will unfold primarily in half a dozen different regions outside the Sultanate’s capital of Muscat. It will do 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 will do so also because of Oman’s position adjacent to the Hormuz Strait, arguably the world’s most strategically vital waterway. Articles related to last year's study visit were published in The Washington Post, Saudi Gazette, and The Atlantic’s CityLab.
