Mayrouba (Arabic: ميروبا) is a village in Keserwan District, Mount Lebanon Governorate, Lebanon. It sits at an altitude of 1,300 metres (4,300 ft). The population of Mayrouba is almost exclusively Maronite Catholic, part of the Eastern Catholic Churches. There are several Stone age archaeological sites in the vicinity that have defined the location as the type site of the Mayroubian culture.
Mayrouba I is 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) east northeast of Junie by the way to Faraya. It is a large site on top of a plateau to the north of the village situated in sandstone at an altitude of approximately 1,400 metres (4,600 ft). It was discovered by Paulist Fathers from Harissa. Collections were made from the site by P.R. Gigues and various Jesuits including Maurice Tallon, Auguste Bergy, Francis Hours and Henri Fleisch. Fleisch admitted that it was not the best choice for a type site due to the possibility of mixed industries however he published it as a transitional site with successive occupations between peoples of the Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic.
Michel Naim Aoun (Arabic: ميشال عون) (born February 18, 1935) is a former Lebanese Army Commander and currently a Politician and leader of the Free Patriotic Movement.
