AHLAN! THE MOST TALKED ABOUT

MAGAZINE BRAND IN THE MIDDLE EAST For over 12 years, Ahlan! has been the region’s bestselling celebrity and lifestyle weekly, boasting the highest penetration throughout the UAE and the GCC. Defining social trends in the region and containing the biggest stories in show business each week, plus the latest celebrity fashion, beauty and diet secrets, Ahlan! was

LAUNCHED IN 2003

the first homegrown celebrity and lifestyle magazine to hit the shelves in the Middle East back in 2003! It’s been a go-to entertainment source ever since. It remains the market leader thanks to its expanding influence through its web and social media platforms, reaching more readers than any other women’s magazine in the region.

THE AHLAN! READER LET US INTRODUCE STACEY… She’s 28 years old and relocated to the UAE for her career. Currently living the high life with her girlfriends in Dubai, she’s committed to her job during the week, but she loves her weekends and enjoys brunches and nights out with her friends in the hottest new venues as recommended by her favourite magazine. Stacey’s a gym member and regularly attends fitness classes. Shopping is her other great passion and she trawls the malls every week looking for the latest

celebrity-inspired styles she’s seen in Ahlan! She enjoys regular manicures, pedicures and blowdries to complete her look, and is always looking for a good salon. When she goes out, she’ll opt for a top ladies’ night, and she always reads Ahlan!’s 5 Things To Do This Week to discover the places to be seen. If she spots an Ahlan! photographer she’ll happily pose for pics and then look for her picture in Access All Areas, Ahlan!'s famous society pages to see if she made the edit.
