Gulf Studies Center Host 2nd Diwaniah

The American University of Kuwait's Gulf Studies Center hosted its 2nd Diwaniah for AUK directors and faculty in the Camel Racing Club in Kuwait. The program started with the arrival of Shiekh Duaij Ibrahim Al-Sabah, the representative for His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, followed by traditional Arabic style lunch. There were six rounds of robot camel racing and after each round there were Arabic dance performances. After the races, winners were announced and camel riding was made available for the attendees.
