Independent Arabia operates as the Arabic-language edition linked to The Independent, established through a partnership with Media Arabia. It delivers Arabic news by blending translations from the British edition with original reporting produced by a network of journalists across Arab cities. The operation is headquartered in London, with regional bureaus in Cairo and Beirut, and it holds licenses to launch sites in Arabic, Turkish, Urdu and Persian. The publication is led by editor-in-chief Adwan al-Ahmari and published by Media Arabia Ltd. The project targets Arabic-speaking readers seeking global coverage with emphasis on developments in the Arab world, including social and humanitarian issues. In 2025, Independent Arabia earned the Journalistic Report award at the Saudi Media Forum, recognizing work by staff such as Ayman Al-Ghubawi.
