The American University of Beirut (AUB) is located in Beirut, Lebanon, on the Mediterranean coast. It was founded in 1911 by a group of American Presbyterian missionaries and has since become one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the Middle East, playing a significant role in promoting education, research, and cultural exchange between the United States and the region. AUB is known for its strong programs in medicine, engineering, business, and social sciences, as well as its commitment to fostering international understanding and cooperation.
American University of Beirut (AUB) is a private research university located in Beirut, Lebanon. The university is situated on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, with a rich history dating back to 1866 when it was founded by American missionaries. AUB has played a significant role in shaping the educational landscape of Lebanon and the Middle East, offering programs in fields such as business, engineering, law, and medicine.
Jerusalem is a city in the Southern Levant, on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Both Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital city; Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there, while Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power. Neither claim is widely recognised internationally.
The American Colony was a settlement in Jerusalem established by American Christians in the late 19th century. Located on Mount Scopus, it was situated near the city's eastern border and offered panoramic views of the city. The colony played an important role in the early 20th-century history of Jerusalem, particularly during the British Mandate period, and is still remembered today for its significance in the city's religious and cultural heritage.
