American University in Cairo

The American University in Cairo was founded in 1919 by Americans devoted to education and service in the Middle East. For its first 27 years the university was shaped by its founding president, Dr. Charles A. Watson. He wanted to create an English-language university based on high standards of conduct and scholarship and to contribute to intellectual growth, discipline, and character of the future leaders of Egypt and the region. He also believed that such a university would greatly improve America's understanding of the area.

MBI Al Jaber Foundation

The MBI Al Jaber Foundation was born from Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber's desire to promote better understanding between the peoples of the Middle East and the wider world.

We believe that better understanding will be achieved through education and an awareness of and respect for each others’ cultures.
