History and profile

Al Arab was established by Hamad Al Jassir as a monthly magazine in Beirut in 1966, and the first issue appeared in November that year.[1] Al Jassir also edited the magazine until his death in September 2001.[2] In 1973 its frequency was switched to bimonthly due to high costs of printing.[1] In 1975 Al Jassir returned to Riyadh and published the magazine there.[3]

Al Arab was similar to the American magazine National Geographic in terms of its coverage.[4] The topics included the study of Arabic language, history, and geography of the Arabian Peninsula.[2][4] It frequently featured articles on the Arab tribes and the problems of tribal heritage.[5] Al Jassir also published articles in the magazine in relation to the noble families of central Arabia.[2] Al Arab folded in 2001 shortly after the death of its founder.[2]
