Qatari newspapers in Arabic

Arabic-language titles — these profiles open in the Arabic section.

Qatar has one of the world's most internationally prominent media landscapes — remarkable for a nation of just 2.7 million people — home to Al Jazeera, one of the most watched and influential news networks on the planet. Qatar's media sector has grown enormously since the 1990s, with Doha emerging as a major global media hub alongside its role as a centre for diplomacy, sport, and international finance. The country hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup, generating extraordinary global media coverage.

Among Qatar's most widely read newspapers is Gulf Times, the country's oldest English daily, alongside The Peninsula and Qatar Tribune serving the large expatriate community. In Arabic, Al Sharq is Qatar's most-read daily, while Al Raya serves as the semi-official newspaper of the state. However Qatar's most globally significant media institution is Al Jazeera — both the Arabic and English channels — which has transformed international news broadcasting since its launch in 1996. The Qatar-owned beIN Sports is the dominant sports broadcaster across the Arab world.
