Al-Hilal [meaning The Crescent in English] is a monthly Egyptian cultural and literature magazine.[1] It is among the oldest magazines dealing with arts in the Arab world.[2][3]

History and profile

Al-Hilal was founded in 1892 by Jurji Zaydan,[4][5] a journalist from Beirut who had come to Egypt in the 1880s.[6][7] The first issue of the monthly was published in September 1892.[8] After Jurji Zaydan's death the journal was edited by his sons, Emile and Shukri Zaydan.[9]

The magazine, published in Arabic, is based in Cairo.[10] It is one of the state-owned publications in the country.[11] State-run Dar Al Hilal Publishing House is the publisher of the magazine.[12][13][14]

On 30 March 2011 Helmy Al Namnam became the editor-in-chief of Al Hilal.[15] The next editor-in-chief of the magazine is Mohamed Al Shafei.[16]

Past issues of Al-Hilal were digitized by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.[2] In addition, the publisher also archived the past issues of the magazine and of other publications.[17] South Korean news agency the AsiaN and the magazine initiated a cultural partnership to support the cooperation in the fields of culture and media.[16]
