I can hardly believe it, but The Arabian Stories (TAS) is four years old. We started on January 1, 2019 on a modest note, but with a vision to be bigger and better. 

And today, as TAS completes four years, we’d like to take a moment to look back at what we’ve shared together, and where we’re going.

But, before that let us start by thanking all our wonderful subscribers. Where would we be without you?

In a world where nothing stands still, nothing lasts, and almost nothing can be trusted, what an amazing achievement to have not only survived four years (especially the two years of Covid-19 crisis), but thrived, grown and remained committed to finding and sharing the information that you can trust.

Our independent news reporting, balanced editorial policy, and the core of trustworthiness and credibility remain unchanged. Our content will stay focussed on the subscribers, whose search for a dependable source of news, views and analysis in this age of information overload ends at TAS. Where others scream from the rooftops, we will stay understated and subtle but we will, as always, deliver the news and perspective that you value.

In the last exciting four years, we have experimented with content formats (more importantly visual), technology and different ways of engaging our readers meaningfully. We recently launched the mobile app to bring content at your fingertips. 

Throughout this ride, we’ve broken news as well as our own expectations. Today, as we speak, we are the fastest growing digital news media platform in the region with over eight million monthly page views and with a strong social media foothold that is growing steadfastly.

So where are we going? We have recently launched Business Plus, a luxury magazine that focuses on business and lifestyle worlds. We are also in the process of expanding to other global markets in GCC, UK and India with Business Plus being the focal point. With the second edition of our TAS Conclave becoming a mega hit, we are planning a bigger Conclave this year along with few exciting events to keep you engaged.

I never cease to be amazed at the loyalty, strength and passion of TAS supporters and on behalf of Team TAS, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you.

Finally, to all our subscribers and advertisers, thank you for making 2022 an amazing year. Thank you for believing in our vision and of course our products. We’re committed to making TAS your ultimate destination for feel-good and informative digital content, for many, many years to come!

Happy birthday to US & happy 2023 to you all!
