Beginnings
The newspaper was founded by two Syrian brothers Beshara and Saleem Teqla who were living at that time in Alexandria. In the beginning, Al-Ahram was published as a weekly newspaper on every Saturday..
The newspaper was distributed in Egypt and the Levant. Two months after the newspaper was founded, the Teqla brothers decided to make it a daily newspaper. In November 1899, Al-Ahram's headquarter was moved to Cairo.
Some of the early writers in this newspaper were the religious scholars Muhammad Abduh and Jamal al-Din al-Afghani.
