It was first based in Alexandria, Egypt, and then in Damascus, Syria.

History and profile

Al Arus was established by Mary Ajami, a Syrian Orthodox, in Alexandria in 1910 as a 32-page women's magazine.[2] Its first issue appeared in December that year.[3] Ajami also edited the magazine which featured articles on history, literature, culture and medicine focusing on the problems of women.[4] Shortly after its start, the magazine moved to Damascus, the hometown of Ajami.[5] It was expanded, becoming a 40-page monthly magazine which temporarily ceased publication in 1914 when World War I began.[2][5]

The magazine resumed publication in Damascus after the war ended in 1918 and had 60 pages.[2][5] Al Arus folded in 1925 due to the Great Syrian Revolt.[2]

Notable contributors of Al Arus included Kahlil Gibran, Mikhail Naimy, Elia Abu Madi, Maruf Al Rusafi and Abbas Mahmoud Al Aqqad.[2]
