In the 1970s, Abdel Hamid and Hamouda (who also taught at Helwan University) travelled to Washington D.C. for an extended sabbatical, exhibiting their work at both the International Monetary Fund and the Academy of Sciences. Citing a desire for a new challenge and the need to establish cultural bridges for future Egyptian artists, the couple spent their time painting, studying and moving in diplomatic circles, often creating portraits of high-level figures.

From their apartment overlooking Rock Creek Park, where they lived with their young daughter, Abdel Hamid painted cityscapes of their temporary American home.
