The Dubai
Press Club was established in November 1999. The aim of the
Dubai Press Club is to foster interaction among journalists
and media professionals from around the world, to promote exchange
of ideas between the newsmakers and the news communicators,
and to create a world-class facility that fosters pursuit of
journalistic excellence.
In just
two years time Dubai Press Club has established itself as
an important forum where Presidents, Prime Ministers and other
leading political and business leaders address and meet regional
and international media professionals.
The Dubai
Press Club has launched the Arab world's first journalism
awards. These awards recognize and stimulate the pursuit of
journalistic excellence in Arabic media.

The Dubai
Press Club has signed agreements of collaboration with leading
press clubs from around the world.
A number
of Media Summits have also been organised by the Dubai Press
Club. These Summits bring the who?s-who from the world of
media to Dubai.
The Club
provides excellent business and social facilities for its
members. Indeed, the Dubai Press Club is now a thriving forum
for exchange of ideas. It is an integral part of the media
industry in the Middle East and is contributing to the emergence
