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
