The website, which publishes entirely in Arabic with content from four different editions, enjoys a high ranking around the world as a leading resource on articles and information concerning the Arabian Peninsula and Northern Africa. Al-Hayat, and the Alhayat.com website, is generally regarded as the newspaper of record for Arab communities around the world.
