The Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center's Summer Institute on Oman and the Gulf is an extraordinary opportunity for students doing summer internships in the DC area, employees working with issues related to the region, and people just interested in the region and learning more about it. At no cost, they can obtain a comprehensive understanding of the peoples and cultures of Oman and neighboring countries from a variety of speakers.

The Institute features a range of nationally and internationally renowned specialists who will address the culture, history, economics, social change, and dynamics of this important region. In addition to speakers from around the US, a number of speakers will be coming from Oman.

Our Summer Institute is underway, but we still have space available for those who would like to attend.

Although the lectures are designed for university and graduate students working in the Washington DC area as interns or summer employees, anyone with interest in the region may attend.
