Emirates Insight is an independent business news publication based in Dubai. We cover the deals, deal makers, and policy moves shaping the United Arab Emirates and the wider Gulf, from a small newsroom that prizes clarity over noise.
What we cover
- Dubai and Abu Dhabi corporate news, deals, and macro shifts.
- Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait business stories that matter to readers in the Emirates.
- Markets: DFM, ADX, Tadawul, regional commodities, energy, and currency.
- Fintech and crypto regulation in the region, including VARA, ADGM, and the DFSA.
- Startups, founders, and venture capital across the GCC.
- AI policy, infrastructure, and on-the-ground deployments in the UAE.
- Real estate and property, sustainability and energy transition, and opinion from regional analysts.
Editorial principles
- Independence. Advertisers do not see editorial copy before it is published. Sponsored articles are clearly labelled and produced under a separate workflow.
- Accuracy first. Numbers are sourced. Quotes are checked. When we get something wrong we correct it and we say what changed.
- Brevity. Most readers are short on time. We default to 600 to 1,200 word stories with the lede at the top, not the bottom.
- Plain language. No jargon when an everyday word will do.
Ownership and team
Emirates Insight is privately owned and operated. The editorial team is led by founder and editor-in-chief Khalid Hussain Mir. The full author and contributor list is on the authors page.
