As-Sayeh
As-Sayeh (Arabic: السائح, romanized: al-Sāʼiḥ, lit. 'The Traveler') was an Arabic-language magazine founded in New York City by Abd al-Masih Haddad in 1912.[1] It continued to be published until 1957.[2][lower-alpha 1] It presented the works of prominent Mahjari literary figures in the United States (such as Amin Rihani, Kahlil Gibran, Mikha'il Na'ima and Elia Abu Madi[3]) and became the "spokesman" of the Pen League[3] which he co-founded with Nasib Arida in 1915[4] or 1916.[5] Haddad published his own collection Hikayat al-Mahjar (The Stories of Expatriation) inside it in 1921.

gollark: Anyone got ideas for features for my useless Discord bot?
gollark: Personally, as a weird arbitrary preference, I like unrounded rectangles and flat colors.
gollark: I do not like it with UIs look like they were designed to run on tiny phone screens with touch input then transplanted onto desktop.
gollark: I think you linked me the website for it, and it was almost entirely content-free and meaningless and didn't work very well.
gollark: Personally, my favorite design æsthetic is just flat opaque rectangles with borders.
