TimesKuwait.com
is the first licensed English-language news website in Kuwait and conforms to Kuwait Ministry of Information Law 8 of 2016, which regulates all electronic media in the country.


Since its first appearance as a weekly newspaper on Kuwait’s media scene in 1996, The Times Kuwait has gone on to become the leading weekly English language newspaper in Kuwait.

The Times Kuwait has been able to grab the attention of media purveyors, advertisers and readers alike for its quality and tone of its content and the richness of its images.

With the success of the newspaper and keeping with the changing times the decision was made to come out with a pdf version emailed to readers that would further supplement the already sizable print circulation. The online pdf version was welcomed by readers who were increasingly moving their perusal of media to computers and smartphones.

Readership of The Times Kuwait surged both in the country and abroad. In a short span of time, the newspapers independent editorial position coupled with its honest and impartial presentation of news, helped entrench its position as the premier weekly newsmagazine in Kuwait.

In line with reading trends in the country and with the aim of reaching an even wider audience, the management took the next logical step in the evolution of The Times Kuwait. The decision was made to launch an online presence with an interactive website at www.timeskuwait.com

In 2016 the TimesKuwait.com became the first licensed English-language news website in Kuwait conforming to Kuwait Ministry of Information Law 8 of 2016 that was enacted to regulate all electronic media in the country. Securing this license was an attestation of the website’s credibility, its adherence to factuality and its impartiality in the delivery of content, as well as a testimony to the journalistic professionalism displayed in its news coverage.

Since then, the TimesKuwait.com with its highly interactive focus has endeared the website to readers and advertisers alike. In addition to highlights from our print and pdf editions, the website also brings readers the latest local and international news as it breaks, informative feature articles, interesting social happenings and upcoming events in and around town, as well as a whole lot more that targets every segment of Kuwait’s multifaceted society.
