Arabian Diaries is an independent lifestyle and culture publication focused on the people, style, beauty, luxury, shopping, travel, and ideas shaping the Middle East. This Policy explains how we choose, research, write, review, disclose, and correct our stories.
1. Our Editorial Mission
Our goal is to publish useful, engaging, and respectful stories that help readers understand the region and discover something worth their time. We value accuracy, clarity, cultural awareness, curiosity, and a warm editorial voice.
Every article should have a clear purpose. We do not publish material simply to fill space, manipulate search rankings, or repeat claims that we cannot support.
2. What We Cover
Icons and Biographies. Actors, royals, models, artists, entrepreneurs, and creators whose stories interest readers across the Arab world and beyond.
Style, Beauty, and Luxury. Fashion, traditional and modest dress, beauty routines, products, designers, boutiques, malls, and brands relevant to the Gulf and wider region.
Travel and Culture. Destinations, landmarks, experiences, customs, and cultural stories across the UAE, the Gulf, and the broader Middle East.
3. Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are made for readers. Advertisers, sponsors, affiliate partners, publicists, brands, and featured individuals do not receive the right to approve or control independent editorial conclusions.
Payment, gifts, invitations, samples, or access do not guarantee positive coverage. Commercial relationships are disclosed and kept separate from independent editorial judgment.
4. Research and Sourcing
We aim to use reliable and relevant sources, including official statements, direct interviews, government or institutional information, established publications, brand materials, public records, product documentation, and qualified specialists where appropriate.
We distinguish confirmed information from commentary, estimates, rumors, and opinion. Anonymous or sensitive sources are used cautiously, and we do not invent quotations, events, credentials, experiences, or supporting evidence.
5. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
Writers and editors are expected to verify names, titles, dates, locations, quotations, product details, prices, availability, and other material facts before publication. Information that can change quickly is checked as close to publication as practical.
When certainty is not possible, we use careful language and tell readers what remains unconfirmed. Headlines, captions, metadata, and social posts should accurately reflect the article and should not mislead readers for clicks.
6. Biographies and Public Figures
Biography and public-figure stories rely on information that is publicly available, attributable, and reasonably relevant. We avoid presenting gossip, disputed claims, or speculation as fact and take particular care with ages, relationships, family matters, wealth estimates, health information, and private individuals.
A profile is not an endorsement, partnership, or statement of affiliation. People featured in our coverage may request a factual correction by contacting info@arabiandiaries.com.
7. Reviews and Recommendations
Recommendations are based on editorial relevance, research, available evidence, value to the reader, and, where applicable, firsthand experience. When a writer has personally tested a product, visited a venue, or received a complimentary experience, we make that context clear.
We do not imply personal use or testing when none occurred. Prices, stock, services, opening hours, travel requirements, and product formulations can change, so readers should confirm important details directly with the relevant provider.
8. Advertising, Sponsorships, and Affiliate Links
Advertising supports Arabian Diaries but does not determine our independent editorial coverage. Display advertisements, including ads delivered through Google AdSense, may be selected and served by third parties and do not represent an endorsement by Arabian Diaries.
Paid or sponsored content is clearly identified using labels such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “Advertisement.” Affiliate links are disclosed near the relevant content. If a reader purchases through an affiliate link, Arabian Diaries may earn a commission at no additional cost to the reader.
9. Corrections and Updates
We correct material factual errors as promptly as practical. A correction may be made within the article and, when the change is significant, accompanied by an editor’s note or updated date. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or clarity edits may be made without a formal correction note.
To request a correction, email info@arabiandiaries.com with the article URL, the statement in question, and reliable supporting information. We review requests fairly but do not remove accurate coverage merely because a person or organization dislikes it.
10. Images, Credits, and Copyright
We aim to use images, quotations, trademarks, and creative material with permission, under licence, from authorized sources, or on another lawful editorial basis. Credits are included where required or appropriate.
For a copyright or image concern, contact info@arabiandiaries.com with the page URL, identification of the material, your contact information, and an explanation of your rights or authorization.
11. AI-Assisted Tools
If artificial-intelligence tools are used for tasks such as transcription, translation, research support, outlining, or editing, a human remains responsible for the published result. We do not knowingly publish unreviewed AI-generated copy, fabricated sources or quotations, or synthetic images presented as documentary evidence.
12. Contributors, Conflicts, and Contact
Contributors must disclose interests that could affect their coverage; editors may add a disclosure, reassign, or decline a story. Questions and story ideas: info@arabiandiaries.com. Corrections: info@arabiandiaries.com. Website: https://arabiandiaries.com/.
