How to Get Featured in Arabian Business
Arabian Business is the Gulf's dominant B2B title, read by executives and investors across the GCC. Here is what earns coverage and the routes that exist.
If you sell to businesses in the Gulf, or you are raising money there, Arabian Business is the title that reaches the specific people who decide.
The B2B title in the region
Arabian Business covers business, finance, and the companies and executives shaping the GCC economy. Its readership is concentrated among senior decision makers: founders, executives, investors and the people advising them.
That concentration is the whole value. It is a smaller audience than a national daily and a considerably more relevant one if your buyer sits in a boardroom.
What earns coverage
Substance that matters to a business readership: funding rounds, expansions into the region, genuine market data, deals, and executives with something real to say about their sector.
"We launched" is not a story. "We committed capital to this market and here is what we are seeing" might be.
Where founders waste money
The common mistake is buying reach when what you needed was relevance. A consumer paper with ten times the readership does almost nothing for an enterprise software company selling into Saudi and the Emirates.
The reverse holds too. If you sell to the public, a C-suite title is the wrong spend. Pick the audience, then pick the publication.
Earned versus secured
Arabian Business has a working newsroom, and a journalist deciding to cover you is not something anyone can sell. What can be arranged is a written feature produced to your brief, with your approval, published on the title.
Both are legitimate. Only one is purchasable, and a straight provider will tell you which you are getting without being pushed.

Frequently asked questions
01Who reads Arabian Business?
Senior decision makers across the GCC: founders, executives, investors and their advisers. It is the region's dominant B2B publication.
02What kind of story does Arabian Business cover?
Funding rounds, regional expansion, deals, proprietary market data, and executives with something substantive to say about their sector. A launch announcement on its own does not clear the bar.
03Is Arabian Business right for a consumer brand?
Rarely. Its readership is business decision makers, so a consumer product is usually better served by a national daily or a lifestyle title.
