The Arabic-language satirical magazine al-Alam (Arabic: العلم; DMG: al-ʿĀlam; English: "The World") was published weekly in Cairo between 1926 and 1927 in a total of 51 issues.[1] Its founder and editor was ʿAli Fahmi Kamil (1870-1926 ), who also served as manager of the journal al-Liwaʾ.[2] The journal deals mostly with political and social events of its time.[3] In 1927, the magazine was merged with another publication, Kull shay, to form the periodical Kull šayʾ wa-l-ʿālam.[3]
