SQCC Hosts Interns from the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations

On 30 June SQCC hosted interns from various U.S. States who are interning at the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations (NCUSAR) in Washington, DC. Interns toured SQCC’s permanent exhibition, where they learned about traditional Omani dresses and handicrafts such as pottery, basketry, silversmithing and woodworking, as well as the aflaj irrigation system. Interns also learned about Omani forts, ships, and trade.
Students also attended a lecture on the Sultanate of Oman, its culture, geography, climate, traditional dress, and customs. Students were excited to engage with staff, asked many questions, and were very interested to learn about Oman as well as SQCC’s programs, scholarships and Arabic classes.
