The UAE. Clearly.

Most UAE coverage is written to sell you something: a property, a visa package, a version of the story that keeps somebody comfortable. Emirates Wire isn’t. It’s a daily briefing for people whose money, work or family is tied to the Emirates, and who need the full picture rather than the flattering half of it.

Who it’s for

Residents who’ve been there however long and still can’t get a straight answer. Anyone weighing up the move and doing the wanting to do the maths properly. Business owners, lawyers, accountants and advisers running one foot in the UK and one in the Emirates

What you get

A morning briefing, Monday to Friday: the economy, geopolitics and regional security, property, aviation, regulation, and the practical business of daily life. A longer read on Saturday for the stories that deserve more than a paragraph. Original reporting and interviews you won’t find elsewhere. And a weekly What’s On for the culture, business and sport worth turning up to.

Every edition reads as one argument, not a pile of links.

What makes it different

We tell you the hard parts. The risk, the cost, the regulatory friction, the deals that don’t land, the things the promotional material leaves out. That’s not cynicism about the UAE — it’s a serious place doing genuinely ambitious things, and it deserves serious coverage. Honesty is why our readers forward us to people they actually care about.

Beyond the inbox

Emirates Wire also convenes. We launch on 9 September 2026 at the National Liberal Club in London, bringing together the people shaping the UK-UAE relationship, and we’re also developing a podcast series based on those conversations. Subscribers hear about all of it first.

How this is made

Emirates Wire is reported, written and edited by Steve Moore. AI tools help with research aggregation and early drafting. Every fact is checked against primary sources, and every sentence is read and approved by me before it goes out. Nothing is published that I haven’t personally stood behind.

If we get something wrong, tell me, and we’ll correct it in the next edition. Questions about how any of this works are welcome at any time.

Free. No spin.
