Bring your family and get ready of a rare celebration that will take place in Washington, DC, the American capital. The Smithsonian, the world's largest museum complex is hosting an event exhibiting Saudi culture to the public. "Eid al-Arabia: A Cultural Celebration," Saturday, Nov. 17, 9:30 am-5 pm. While there will be many events and functions, the portion I am interested in the most is the music.
