CAIRO – The United States Embassy in Cairo is proud to announce that the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters will be in Egypt from May 27th to June 3rd. The U.S. Embassy is pleased to partner with this iconic American sports institution to promote cultural exchanges and connections between the Egyptian and American people.

The Harlem Globetrotters are a team built on diversity and committed to bringing together people of different backgrounds and physical abilities to promote cultural exchange and community pride. While in Egypt, the Harlem Globetrotters will conduct community basketball clinics with female athletes and youth groups, in addition to an event with wheelchair basketball players from the Al Hassan Foundation for Differently Abled Inclusion. Before each game, the Globetrotters invite young Egyptian basketball players and athletes with special needs to participate in their trademark “Magic Pass” program, offering participants a unique opportunity to interact with the players in person.
