Summary:This contribution aims to emphasize the travel literature, which constitutes the old types of literature. In fact, it has experienced remarkable changes before arriving to open up on other dimensions, especially in the period that came just after colonialism. This research aims to focus on travel narratives in Arab literature, mostly the topics that were discussed at that time, namely constitutions of self and others, transculturation, nostalgia, language and contact zones. Indeed, we turn in this paper to represent the spiritual and affiliation aspect relating to the travel narratives expressed by the novelist Ahmed Al-Madini, especially in his book: “The Journey to God’s Country, followed by The Journey to Ramallah », in which we will analyze the different characteristics of the travel narratives. Keywords: Travel narratives, postcolonial, Arab literature, Ahmed Al-Madini, spiritual, affiliation dimensions.
