The magazine was launched in 1997.[1][2] It is published by the Dar Al Ahram publishing house, being one of its 19 publications.[3]
As of 2005 Mamdouh Al Wali was the board chairman of the weekly which is headquartered in Cairo.[4][5] Usama Saraya is one of the former editors-in-chief of the magazine.[3][6] He held the post until July 2005.[7] Ashraf Badr Mahdy was appointed editor-in-chief of the magazine in August 2012.[8] Khaled Tawheed became the editor-in-chief in June 2014.[9]
Unlike Al Ahram, Al Ahram Al Arabi has a critical stance in regard to the policies of the Egyptian government.[3] In addition, the magazine has anti-Israel and religious views.[3][10] The weekly, despite being a political weekly, awards leading Arab sports figures and sports media.[11]
In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks Al Ahram Al Arabi argued on 4 October 2001 that the U.S. was experiencing the results of its own acts.[12] It further stated that with the collapse of "the city of globalization (New York City) the theory of globalization will be buried."[12] In March 2013, the magazine alleged that three Hamas military leaders were responsible for the murder of the Egyptian soldiers in Rafah in August 2012.[13] The allegation was based on the report of an Egyptian General Intelligence member.[13]
Al Ahram Al Arabi was banned by the Sudanese authorities in September 2012 due to the report about the migration of Sudanese citizens to Libya, Israel and other countries.[14][15]
