The Egyptian literary magazine al-Fajr (Arabic: الفجر; DMG: al-Faǧr; English: The Dawn) was published weekly in Cairo between 1934 and 1935.[1][2] Two volumes with a total of 18 issues were edited.[3]
A group of young writers of the ("Modernist School"), including (1894 -1973), (1894-1954), (1905-1993) and (1900-1988), are considered to be the founders of the magazine.[4] Some of them increased their popularity inside and outside of Egypt by publishing their works in al-Fajr.
Generally, the declared aim of the journal was reaching the renaissance of the Egyptian literary scene and in particular "intellectual independence".[5]
