In October 1924, Eltaher founded and became the chief editor of the Cairo-based Al-Shura newspaper.
The newspaper was banned from circulation in 1926, provoking Palestinian protestations to Egypt.
In 1931, after having been allowed to re-circulate a few years prior, it had its license revoked by the order of Prime Minister Ismail Sidqi Pasha.
The newspaper promoted Arab nationalism and anti-imperialist struggle throughout the Arab and Islamic worlds and Sub-Saharan Africa, and had correspondents in Arab countries as well as in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Zanzibar.
During his time in Egypt, Eltaher was a strong supporter of the Egyptian nationalist Wafd Party.
He traveled throughout the non-Arab and Islamic world to raise awareness and support for Arab anti-colonial struggles.
His international profile earned him the description of "Egypt's ambassador to the world" by Wafd leader Makram Ebeid.
Eltaher cultivated close relations with the pan-Islamist Shakib Arslan of Lebanon and with the Palestinian nationalist al-Istiqlal party.

In 1936, a book he wrote about the 1936 Arab revolt in Palestine was confiscated by the authorities while it was still in the process of being printed.
Eltaher later published the Al-Shabab newspaper in 1937, but it was closed down by the authorities soon after.
Two years later, he established the Al-Alam Al-Masri newspaper under a publication license transferred to him by the license's owner Abd al-Qader al-Toumi.
Both Al-Shabab and Al-Alam Al-Masri had the same general theme of Eltaher's original newspaper Al-Shura.
