The Middle East in the 21st Century: A World Leaders Symposium

Embark on a historic journey to Dubai (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman in the spring of 2009. Discover a modern Arabia that differs markedly from Western perceptions--an Arabia of glittering cityscapes and vast deserts, where ancient traditions and a rapidly changing culture coexist in a region impacted by oil, Islam, and global geopolitical currents. Speakers include James A. Baker III, Larry Diamond, Bernard Haykel, John Mroz, William Perry, Dennis B. Ross, and more. Join us for an insightful journey to the Middle East!

What's New

High Country Passage is proud to offer The World Leaders Symposium series. Our mission for this flagship series is to engage in dialogues, group sessions, and conversations with distinguished leaders whose decisions influenced the course of history, and with prominent academics who provide insight, analysis, and perspective. We have produced three highly successful World Leaders symposia over the past three years. Our 2006 program in the Baltic Sea featured Mikhail Gorbachev and Lech Walesa; Madeleine Albright and William Perry led our 2007 program in the Balkans; and our March 2008 program in China featured former President George H.W. Bush. In spring 2009, we are pleased to offer a historic journey to the Persian Gulf region as the fourth World Leaders Symposium. For more information, click here: World Leaders Middle East
