Questions
Frequently asked
General
What is Pride of UAE?
A platform that discovers and celebrates the people and brands shaping the UAE through professionally written profiles and social media features.
Who can be featured?
Anyone living or working in the UAE, Emirati or resident, of any age or profession: students, founders, professionals, creators, artisans, volunteers and everyday heroes.
Nominations
Can I nominate someone else?
Yes. We always contact the nominee for consent before publishing anything.
Do I need a big social following or a LinkedIn profile?
No. We look for impact and a meaningful story, not follower counts.
Getting featured
Is it free?
Nominations are always free, and our editors select merit features at no cost. Optional paid packages guarantee a feature with a faster turnaround, but they never buy a merit badge.
How long does it take?
Merit reviews take up to 10 business days. Paid features are published within 3–5 business days of your approval.
Will I see my feature before it goes live?
Always. We send you a private link to review the draft, and nothing is published without your approval.
Can I share my feature?
Absolutely. Every profile has share buttons for WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X and more, and our team shares it across Pride of UAE channels.
Brands
Can businesses be listed?
Yes. UAE brands, startups and SMEs can apply for a verified brand profile via “List my brand”.
Privacy & your data
How do I update or remove my profile?
