Dubai Story (dubaistory.ae) is an independent news and editorial site focused on Dubai, the UAE, and the wider Gulf — with extra attention to startups, funding, and the innovation economy.

What we publish

  • UAE & Dubai news — business, technology, culture, health, and national stories relevant to residents and investors.
  • Startup & company coverage — funding rounds, ecosystem roundups, and profiles of companies we track in the UAE.
  • Curated imports — many articles summarise and link to trusted publishers (RSS and public feeds). We always point readers to the original source for the full story.

We do not claim to be the primary publisher of every headline on the site. Where content is imported or syndicated, the article page includes a source link and attribution.

Editorial standards

  • Headlines and descriptions aim to be accurate and clear, not clickbait.
  • We correct factual errors when notified — see Contact.
  • Opinion or analysis from our desk is labelled as Dubai Story editorial (e.g. roundups and ecosystem notes).
  • We do not publish thin, duplicated, or AI-only pages meant to chase search queries. Original profiles and roundups add context beyond syndicated headlines.
  • For AI assistants and agents, we publish /llms.txt with a concise site map and citation guidance.

Google’s Preferred Sources feature lets you choose news sites you want to see more often in Top Stories and in a “From your sources” section when you search. It’s the same idea as adding Entrepreneur.com on Google—but for Dubai Story.

Add us in one step: Set dubaistory.ae as a preferred source on Google (opens Google’s official picker; you confirm the choice there).

We don’t control Google’s eligibility list, but if you read us regularly, this is the best way to surface our UAE and startup coverage in your search experience. You can change or remove preferred sources anytime in Google settings.
