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][a] 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.
