Ahmad bin Na'aman Al Kaabi (Arabic: أحمد بن نعمان الكعبي; born between 1784-1790) was the first Arab emissary to visit the United States. To open trade with New York, Sayyid Said bin Sultan, Ruler of Muscat and Oman selected his new Bombay-built ship, al-Sultanah, to carry out the voyage and settled on his confidential private secretary, Ahmad bin Na'aman, as his emissary.
