The Arab (magazine)

"The Arab" is an English language magazine on Middle Eastern and North African current affairs, established in 2007.

It focusses on a broad range of subject areas within the Arab world, from alternative viewpoints. Articles are serious and authoritative and aimed at readers with at least some familiarity with the region.

Its primary focus is politics and social affairs, but it also covers culture and business. Although it is concerned with Muslim-majority countries, it is not a Muslim magazine i.e. it does not publish articles from an Islamic perspective. The Arab covers religious issues in the region from a secular angle. It is currently circulated to 4,000 readers through a mixture of subscriptions and controlled-circulation.

Although not Arab countries, Iran and Turkey are covered, as they form part of the greater Middle East.

The Arab is owned by an independent British publishing house of the same name, based in London. It markets itself, however, as an international magazine on pan-Arab affairs.
