The United Arab Emirates has one of the Middle East's most cosmopolitan and internationally connected media landscapes, reflecting the country's unique position as a global hub for business, tourism, aviation, and finance. UAE newspapers serve a remarkably diverse population — over 90% expatriate — publishing in Arabic, English, and languages spanning the Indian subcontinent, Philippines, and beyond. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are home to some of the Arab world's most respected media organisations.
Among the most widely read UAE newspapers online is Gulf News, the Emirates' leading English-language daily with one of the largest circulations in the Arab world. Khaleej Times and The National are the other major English dailies, while Al Bayan and Al Ittihad lead in Arabic. For TV news, Al Arabiya — headquartered in Dubai Media City — and Sky News Arabia from Abu Dhabi are the region's most-watched Arabic news channels. For business, Arabian Business and Zawya are essential reading for professionals across the Gulf. Sports fans follow Sport360 for UAE Pro League and international sports coverage.
