Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau - Washington DC

Visit Egypt with Young Professionals

We were honored to host 70+ young professionals for a special cultural networking event arranged by Things To Do®, the premier organization for young professionals, held with the great support of the Embassy of Egypt and our partner EGYPTAIR.

Guests enjoyed a brief showcase about Egypt, explored our mini-museum and in-office photo exhibit, and then dove into an authentic Egyptian food tasting—huge thanks to Sherin Kitchen and Yalla Koshary for serving favorites like koshary, bessara, hawawshi, Egyptian-style liver, and more—ending on a sweet note with Om Ali.

The evening came alive with a vibrant Egyptian performance by Mohamed Aly and his team, who had everyone on the dance floor.

We’re thrilled that many attendees are already planning trips to Egypt in early 2026 to experience the real Egypt for themselves. Thank you to all our partners and guests for making this such a memorable celebration of culture and connection. Special thank to our lovely photographer Omar Essam (@al-mulook.pixieset.com). I'm alway grateful to the effort done by my colleagues in the office, Ahmed Sharaf, Dalia Zaher, and Mostafa.

The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau was honored to participate in Egyptian Day in New York on September 6

The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau was honored to participate in Egyptian Day in New York on September 6, organized by the Happiness Organization. This year’s celebration took over an entire street in one of the city’s most vibrant locations in Manhattan, transforming it into a lively Egyptian promenade. We extend special appreciation to the NYPD for their outstanding coordination and support in ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Our pavilion offered a rich window into Egypt’s heritage and creativity, featuring:
A display of Egyptian artifacts highlighting our history
An Egyptian dress photo booth
A photo gallery of Egyptian celebrities in the U.S.
Hieroglyphic name writing and kids’ activities
The wider event hosted 100+ Egyptian vendors and entrepreneurs showcasing crafts, food, art, and innovative projects. The program included the Egyptian national anthem and beautiful selections from Omar Khairat, performed by the remarkable violinist Daisy. The remarks of H.E. Tamer El-Meligy, Consul General in New York, and H.E. Osama Abdel Khalek, Egypt’s Permanent Representative to the UN, were powerful and inspiring.
Our heartfelt thanks to the Happiness Organization, my friend Yasser Noureldin, and the entire board for the kind invitation. Deep appreciation to Mr. Mohamed Saleh, our valued partner, for his unwavering support of the Bureau’s activities. Special thanks to our friends who traveled from Washington, D.C. to support us, and to my colleagues at the Bureau for their extraordinary effort and many sleepless hours to present the office at its best.
