How to Get on Khaleej Times: A Guide for Tech Companies in the UAE
To get on Khaleej Times, give its business desk UAE news with real local impact, such as a Dubai or Abu Dhabi launch, a contract with a UAE organisation, a funding round or local data, explained for UAE readers; Khaleej Times is the UAE's first English-language daily, launched in Dubai on 16 April 1978 and published by Galadari Printing and Publishing.
Short answer: Khaleej Times writes for people who live and work in the UAE. Tech companies get on it when their news changes something for UAE businesses or residents, not when they announce a product with no local detail.
The ways onto Khaleej Times
| Route | How it works | Credibility with buyers and partners |
|---|---|---|
| Business desk coverage | Reporters cover your company, usually tied to a UAE launch, deal, funding or market data | Highest |
| Expert commentary and opinion | An executive is quoted on, or writes about, a UAE business or tech trend | High, if the view is specific to the UAE |
| Partner and sponsored content | Content produced with or for a company and labelled as such | Medium: useful for reach, read as company-supported |
