Print and digital press still carry weight in the UAE, especially for considered, B2B and government-adjacent audiences across Arabic and English readerships. This guide covers the main titles, what space costs, and how to book.
What UAE press costs
Press is published with live rates on Media.co.uk and sold by ad size. Entry placements start from around AED 12,500 for a quarter page, scaling to half- and full-page positions. See where press sits across media on the Global Advertising Rate Index and browse titles on the UAE press page.
The main titles
The catalogue includes Arabic and English titles plus digital publishers — for example Al Bayan and Emarat Al Youm (Arabic dailies) and Emirates 24/7 (digital). Each title’s page lists the available ad sizes and the rate.
Formats
Newspapers sell by position and size (full / half / quarter page); digital publishers sell display and sponsored placements. Match the title and size to your audience and message length.
