Your Middle East intends to become the definitive source of information about the Middle East for a global audience. The idea is to create an independent, unbiased digital newspaper that provides its readers with the latest news, high-level analysis of current events, in-depth reporting that brings balance and nuance to the news flow as well as travel, culture, art, business and a great deal of other useful contents for people working, travelling, studying or living in the region.
Our readers may be diplomats, businessmen, expats, students, tourists or citizens of Middle Eastern nations, but they are all global citizens interested in this complex and exciting region. We would like to invite you to join us on our journey towards bringing the Middle East closer to the rest of the world. It is our great hope that you will find Your Middle East useful, interesting and important.
Your Middle East is incorporated in Sweden under the name Your Middle East AB. We are privately owned and funded; an entirely independent company that receives no kind of support or financing from any special interests.
