Al-Ahram Newspaper Information

Al-Ahram, founded in 1875, is the most widely circulating Egyptian daily newspaper, and the second oldest after al-Waqa'i`al-Masriya (The Egyptian Events, founded 1828). It is majority owned by the Egyptian government.

Given the large dialectical variety of the Arabic language, Al-Ahram is widely considered an influential source of writing style in Arabic. Al-Ahram was founded in 1875 by two Lebanese brothers, Beshara Takla and Saleem Takla, who were living at that time in Alexandria.
