Advertise with Us

UAE Current reaches residents, families, professionals and business owners across the seven emirates who come to us to understand what is changing and what they need to do about it. If you would like to reach them, we offer advertising that respects both our readers and our journalism.
Who reads UAE Current
Our readers come for practical reporting: visa and residency rules, labour and salary changes, school fees and calendars, property and rents, fuel prices, transport, new laws and travel. They are residents of every emirate, from new arrivals to long-term residents and Emirati citizens, along with business owners and managers who need to know how a new rule affects their company. We will share audience figures and reader insights with advertisers once the site has a full quarter of data.
What we offer
- Display advertising across the site and within section pages, served directly or through advertising networks.
- Sponsorship of a section, a newsletter or a series, credited to the sponsor.
- Sponsored content produced for an advertiser, clearly labelled as sponsored.
To discuss a campaign, email info@uaecurrent.ae with "Advertising" in the subject line, or use our contact page.
The rules that protect our readers
Advertisers do not influence our news coverage. These rules are not negotiable:
- Advertising never buys a news story, a favourable mention or the removal of an unfavourable one.
- Sponsored content is labelled "Sponsored" at the top and on every card that links to it, and is never published under a desk byline.
- Sponsored content follows UAE advertising law and our accuracy standards. We will not publish claims we cannot support.
- Links in sponsored content are marked as sponsored for search engines.
- We do not accept advertising for gambling, adult content, unlicensed financial products, cryptocurrency schemes promising returns, or anything unlawful in the UAE.
- Advertisers do not see articles before they are published.
Why this matters
Our readers trust us because our reporting is independent. Keeping advertising separate is what protects that trust, and it is what makes an advertisement here worth more. The full rules are in our editorial standards, and how we are funded is on our ownership and funding page.
