Sami Moubayed (

Arabic: سامي مروان مبيّض) (born 16 July 1978) is a Syrian historian and writer whose works cover the modern history of Damascus from the late Ottoman period until the creation of the United Arab Republic in 1958.[1]

In 2017, he co-founded the Damascus History Foundation, a non-governmental organization, aimed at preserving the archives of the ancient city of Damascus.[2]

Biography

Sami Moubayed, a native of Damascus, studied at the Faculty of Political Science at the

Syrian Republic.[3] During his college years, Moubayed was mentored by Munir al-Ajlani, a parliamentarian and politician from the pre-Baath Era.[4]
His first book, The Politics of Damascus 1920–1946, was published under Ajlani's supervision in 1998.

In 2000, Moubayed joined the Arab Political Document Center at AUB and worked as a journalist with

Forward Magazine. In 2012, he joined the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Beirut, serving as a scholar on Syria until early 2014.[6]
