Date: Wednesday, October 11
Location: Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center, Washington, D.C.
Her Excellency Hunaina Sultan Al Mughairay, Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman, and The Honorable Stuart Holliday, President & CEO, Meridian International Center, will host a reception to celebrate the Oman-United States bilateral relationship with the installation of the model dhow Sultana. The dhow is a replica of the ship that docked in New York City in May 1840, carrying the first Arab Ambassador to the United States. Meridian has displayed the dhow and will transfer it to the Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center as a commemoration of two centuries of enduring friendship between Oman and the United States.
