The Egyptian literary magazine al-Fajr ( Arabic الفجر, DMG al-Faǧr, 'The Dawn') was published weekly between 1934 and 1935 in Cairo . Two volumes with a total of 18 issues were published.
A group of young writers from al-Madrasa al-Haditha ("Modernist School"), including Mahmoud Taymour (1894–1973), Mahmoud Tahir Laasheen (1894–1954), Yahya Haqqy (1905–1993) and Husayn Fawzy ( 1900–1988) are considered to be the founders of the magazine . Some of them increased their popularity inside and outside Egypt by publishing their works in al-Fajr.
The stated aim of the magazine was generally the renaissance of the Egyptian literary scene and in particular "intellectual independence".
