The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attaché in Washington, D.C. had the pleasure of attending two unforgettable Iftar evenings with our students at George Mason University — first with the Egyptian Students Union on March 13th, and then with the Arab Students Union on April 17th.

Both gatherings were filled with energy, warmth, and amazing vibes. The Attaché was thrilled to be part of lively and thoughtful conversations with the students, listening to their stories, sharing experiences, and exchanging ideas about their academic journeys and cultural identity.

One of the highlights of both evenings was the stunning backdrop displays, masterfully designed by Shaymaa Shaaban, which beautifully captured the spirit of Ramadan and added a unique artistic touch to the celebrations.

The evening of April 17th also included a warm and friendly conversation with the Ambassador of Sudan, further emphasizing the spirit of Arab unity and cross-cultural connection.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the Egyptian Students Union and the Arab Students Union at George Mason University and their prisedents for their exceptional effort in organizing these incredible events. Your dedication and hospitality truly made these evenings unforgettable.

We were honored to welcome Karen Leggett Abouraya, award-winning journalist and children's author, and Tharwat Abouraya, appointed public servant and Chairman of Maryland Governor’s Middle Eastern American Affairs Commission, along with Manuel Knight, tourism sector planner and destination crafter, Chad Helton, the Enoch Pratt Free Library’s new president and CEO and Liz Sunderman from Enoch Pratt Library.

During the meeting, discussions focused on an exciting digital tour of the Embassy of Knowledge at Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA), as they prepare for an in-person visit to the renowned library in the coming months. Plans are also underway for a major international conference to further academic and cultural collaboration.

The visit also included in-depth conversations about potential partnerships and collaborative initiatives to strengthen cultural exchange between Egypt and the United States and evaluate the possibilities of promoting and utilising the treasures of the BA.
