Aletihad was the first Arabic newspaper issued in the United Arab Emirates in 1969. Over five decades, Aletihad has maintained its leading position in the international journalism field as it expanded its reader base through distributing its daily publications across the UAE and many influential world capitals. 

The newspaper gained an outstanding and leading position among its readers through its objective coverage of the news in a way that corresponds with the UAE national agenda and tackles the most vital local and Arab world social issues.

As part of its efforts to support opinion journalism, Aletihad newspaper features a dedicated section for Arab and Khaleeji columnists. This section is considered the most significant of its kind in Arab journalism.
