A newspaper ad still reaches people that digital sometimes misses: senior decision makers, government and corporate readers, and households that trust the printed page. In the UAE, a placement in the right paper puts your message in front of hundreds of thousands of readers in a single morning, and it stays on the page all day. Leads Dubai plans and books newspaper advertising across the UAE, in both English and Arabic papers, and handles the whole process for you.
Why newspaper advertising still works in the UAE
Print carries a level of credibility that a scrolling feed does not. An ad in Gulf News or Al Khaleej signals that a business is established, which matters for property, finance, healthcare, education, tenders and official notices. Readers also spend time with a newspaper rather than swiping past, so your ad gets a longer look. Paired with your digital marketing, print gives you reach and trust that work together.
Newspapers we book across the UAE
We place ads in the papers your audience actually reads, in both languages:
- English: Gulf News, Khaleej Times and The National.
- Arabic: Al Khaleej, Al Bayan, Al Ittihad and Emarat Al Youm.
If you want to reach a specific title, we can tell you its readership and rates. For classifieds in the country’s largest English daily, see our guide to Gulf News classified ads.
Ad types and sizes
You have room to match the format to your goal and budget:
- Display ads. Quarter page, half page, full page, and front-page solus for maximum visibility.
- Classified and line ads. The most cost-effective way to appear, good for property, jobs, services and notices.
- Appointment and tender notices. Placed in the sections where the right readers look for them.
- Special positions. Jacket wraps and premium placements when you want to own the page.
You also choose the section, whether that is Business, Property, Nation, Classifieds or Appointments, so your ad sits alongside content your buyers are already reading.
What newspaper ads cost
Rates vary by paper, size, section and the day of the week. Classifieds start low, while a full-page display in a leading daily sits at the top of the range. Rather than guess, we quote your exact placement.

English and Arabic, done properly
Running the same campaign in English and Arabic papers widens your reach across the Emirates. We handle the translation and the right-to-left design so the Arabic ad reads naturally, not like a converted English one. That detail is what makes a print ad feel local and land with the audience it is meant for.
Why book newspaper ads through Leads Dubai
We have placed print campaigns across the UAE for years, so we know the papers, the sections, the deadlines and the rates. Gulf News alone reaches more than 100,000 readers a day, and we book that title along with the other major English and Arabic papers, so your ad lands where your audience already reads. You get one point of contact for design, translation, booking and proofing, and honest advice on which paper and format give you the best return for your budget. We also run classifieds when a smaller, cheaper placement is the smarter move.
Tell us the paper, the ad size and your target date, and we will send a quote and available dates. Call +971 50 304 7470 or email leads@leadsdubai.com to book your newspaper ad.
