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.
