About Dubai.News

Dubai.News is an independent English-language digital news platform based in Dubai, the UAE's largest city and a global hub. We cover the stories shaping the Emirate and the wider UAE — connecting Dubai's vision to readers across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Our editorial focus is on-the-ground reporting in English with a local lens: government and policy, business and finance, real estate developments, sports and lifestyle, technology and AI, tourism and travel, and the people and culture moving the city forward.

Dubai at the centre

Dubai.News (Dubai 'dot' News) covers business, culture, real estate, luxury, technology, people, and what matters in one of the world's fastest-moving cities. We published our first stories in 2026 with a simple promise: write about Dubai the way readers there actually live it — fast, accurate, useful, and with depth where depth is earned.

We are powered by an independent network of journalists, editors, and contributors based in Dubai and across the UAE, with experience in global media, technology, and culture. Our contributors reflect the cosmopolitan spirit of the city itself.

Dubai.News is published by a media group founded by Sheeraz Hasan, an entrepreneur known for bridging global media, the UAE, and international audiences through innovative digital ventures.
