Souk Weekly is read by people living their everyday lives in the UAE — settling in, renting, commuting, budgeting, eating well, and getting the most out of the Gulf.

Who reads Souk Weekly

Residents and newcomers across the Emirates — in English, Arabic, and Hindi — who use our explainers, city guides, and calculators to make practical decisions: where to live, what things cost, how gratuity works, which school fits the budget. If your product helps with any of that, our readers are your customers.

Ways to work with us

Display advertising

Standard display placements across the homepage, section fronts, articles, and guides. Campaigns can run site-wide or be focused on the topics closest to your customers — money, UAE life, food, travel, or tech.

Calculator & tools sponsorship

Put your brand on the tools people arrive with intent to use: our UAE gratuity calculator, rent-vs-buy comparison, commute cost, school-fee planner, and monthly budget tools. High-intent surfaces, one sponsor per tool.

Newsletter sponsorship

A single, clearly marked sponsor slot in our email editions, delivered to a double-opt-in list of UAE-based readers. One sponsor per send; your message is the only commercial placement in the issue.

Sponsored content

Guides and features produced with or by your team and always labeled as sponsored. Sponsored articles never carry a Souk Weekly staff byline and links follow rel="sponsored" — we protect readers' trust and your campaign's credibility equally.

Our standards

Editorial and commercial are separate at Souk Weekly. Advertisers never see coverage before publication and never influence it; sponsored material is always labeled and governed by our Ethics standards. If your campaign depends on blurring that line, we are not the right partner.
