About Sail

Sail Magazine is an independent Emirati online magazine and publisher of English digital content. It is the voice of the UAE’s next generation of leaders, a powerful platform for debate, and conversation starter around the issues that are engaging the youth in the UAE today. Sail Magazine is owned by Sail Publishing, an Emirati publishing house of books and magazines.

Sail Magazine was founded in 2010, and grew into a full publishing house in 2014, which became a member of Mohammed bin Rashid’s SME Foundation. With an ever-growing team, new areas are constantly being covered by our writers, topics that anyone – Emiratis or expats, residents or abroad- can relate to. Our topics are diverse and include cultural interests, society, mental health, everyday matters, lifestyle, parenting, fashion, art, sports, and much more.

Sail’s philosophy is that when young people read about diverse topics and increase their knowledge, there is no limit to what they can make of their future. And so our mission is to curate original smart content and archive Emirati contemporary thinking.

Our motto in Sail is the saying by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of U.A.E. and Ruler of Dubai:

Most of the people talk, we do things. They plan, we achieve. They hesitate, we move ahead. We are living proof that when human beings have the courage and commitment to transform a dream into reality, there is nothing that can stop them. Dubai is a living example of that.
