Mediaquest Corporation is a privately owned publishing house based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.[1] In 2011 the business publication Saneou Al Hadath, a Mediaquest property, rated Dubai the "Best Arab City to Live in."[2]

Mediaquest was founded in Paris in 1987. It primarily serves the Middle East and North African (MENA) markets.[3] In January 2008 the company acquired the Gulf Marketing Review, Al Tasweeq Al Arabi and Raceweek titles from Gray Business Communications. Other titles include Trends, Saneou Al Hadath, Arabies and Communicate.[4] As of 2012 the company had about 150 employees.[3] Magazines are published in Arabic, English, and French.[1]

The company runs a news web site and an online business magazine.[1] "Dotmena", a subsidiary founded in 2010, is an online advertising network that runs ads on over 2,000 websites.[5] This includes sites run by Mediaquest and other sites such as Eurosport Arabia, Beirut Night Life, Auto Middle East and France 24.[6]
