Arab Observer
The Arab Observer was an English-language weekly news magazine published in Cairo, Egypt, between 1960 and 1966.
History and profile[]
The Arab Observer was founded by Zain Nagati in 1960. At the time, it was one of the only English-language publications from the Middle East. Although not officially a state organ, it generally followed the political orthodoxy of the time[1] and supported the Nasser's government.[2]
Its most famous contributor was Maya Angelou, who worked as an editor while she was in Cairo.[3] Mahmoud Amr is the former editor-in-chief of the magazine.[4]
