About Dar Al Khaleej Printing and Publishing
Dar Al Khaleej Printing and Publishing is a media company based in Sharjah, founded in 1970. It is best known for publishing Al Khaleej, one of the UAE's leading Arabic-language daily newspapers.
Al Khaleej, which translates as "The Gulf", covers local, regional and international news, politics, business, culture and sport. It has been a long-standing source of news for Arabic-speaking readers in the UAE.
The company's history predates the formation of the UAE in 1971, making it one of the country's oldest media organisations. Its founders were among the pioneers of Emirati journalism.
Beyond its flagship newspaper, Dar Al Khaleej has published magazines and other titles, covering subjects such as lifestyle, family and culture.
Printing is also part of the business, as the name suggests. Publishing houses often operate their own printing facilities for newspapers, magazines and commercial printing.
Like newspapers worldwide, Arabic newspapers have shifted increasingly towards digital publishing, with websites, apps and social media channels reaching readers online. Digital subscriptions and online advertising have become important sources of revenue.
Sharjah is known as the cultural capital of the UAE, with a strong focus on books, publishing and the Arabic language. The Sharjah International Book Fair is one of the largest book fairs in the world.
Media in the UAE operates within a regulatory framework overseen by national media authorities.
Opinion columns and analysis pieces by Arab writers have long been part of the newspaper's identity, offering commentary on regional and international affairs.
