Exploring Opportunities for Educational Partnership with the University of the Potomac

Dr. Nirmeen Sabry, the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attaché and Director of the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau in Washington, was honoured to host President Dr. Andrea Kemp-Curtis and Dean Dr. Sergei Andronikov from the University of the Potomac.

This introductory meeting, kindly facilitated by Dr. Dina Rady, marked the beginning of what we hope will be a strong and fruitful collaboration between the University of the Potomac and leading Egyptian academic institutions. Together, we explored exciting opportunities for educational exchange, joint programs, and mutual growth.

Fashioning Power

On May 5th, the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau in Washington had the honor of participating in the second annual Signature Event at the President Woodrow Wilson House – Fashioning Power, Fashioning Peace 2025.

In coordination with the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Washington, D.C., Egypt was proudly represented by a truly remarkable and original wedding dress from Siwa Oasis. This original piece stood out among the dresses showcased from across the globe, leaving a lasting impression on all attendees with its magical embroidery, authenticity, and deep cultural symbolism.

The event brought together ambassadors, diplomats, members of Congress, business leaders, and members of the media in a beautiful celebration of global identity and heritage through fashion. Egypt’s contribution, deeply rooted in tradition and craftsmanship, sparked admiration and thoughtful dialogue.

The Embassy of Egypt presented all guests with a special gift — original Egyptian papyrus, which was met with great admiration and appreciation.

We are proud to continue sharing Egypt’s diverse cultural legacy with the world, and grateful for the opportunity to take part in this distinguished gathering — alongside our Embassy to present Egypt not just as a nation of ancient heritage, but also of living beauty and timeless artistry.
