Abstract: 

Ahmad Sidqi Dajani was a thinker with a mastery of Arabic. He was a unique and an attractive representation that should be followed to defend classical Arabic. This research studies his literary work with a view to shaping his literary identity. His intellectual, political and historical writings do not acquire the status of literature. However, he produced a number of literary masterpieces that place him unequivocally among major literary figures. He wrote a nice play, and the book entitled "Extended Trips and Moments” which is a book that falls in the category of the literature on travel and tourism. Dajani’s book; "Letters to his son," can be compared to Ahmed Amin’s messages to his children. His autobiography entitled “The Meeting of the Veteran with the Young Man he once was,” is a book that talks about the arts and cinema, and encompasses reviews of films and novels as a literary critic.
