Yemen Time is the most widely read English language newspaper in Yemen. It is the most frequently published (twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays) and highest quality newspaper in printing and paper, not in Yemen only, but it is among the best in the Middle East. It uses 70 gram white paper, used only for prestigious journals worldwide, and the colors are exceptionally perfect.

It is the most attractive newspaper for its professional and high quality design and layout done by experienced well-qualified experts in this field.

It is the most sought after and read newspaper by the highest classes in the country such as diplomats, businessmen, officials, foreigners, intellectuals, students, educated classes, researches, and a large segment of the community in Yemen. It is even read by Yemenis in exile, many gulf countries' residents and international subscribers worldwide.

Besides being widely read by high classes of the community, Yemen Times is also among the most popular newspapers for middle classes, where there is purchase power. Many of those belong to the intellectual class such as university students, academicians, politicians in government and opposition, experts, professionals, etc.

Yemen Times is the most widely respected newspaper for its unbiased stand regarding political issues of the country. It is trusted because it is totally independent and has never leaned to any of the governmental or opposition sides. This made readers read it because they want to know the truth, and hence resulted in huge differences between the large readership of Yemen Times and other pro-government newspapers.

It is the only newspaper in Yemen that provides classified service sections both in Arabic and English, hence it also attracts a large portion of the Arabic-readership. It has maintained its position as the most beneficial newspaper for vacancies, commercial deals, bids, etc.

YT is also the only newspaper that has frequent supplements distributed free of charge with every issue of the paper. The supplement includes Arabic and English pages appealing to all the different sectors of the community.

It is the only newspaper that has regular competitions in Arabic and English languages to be appealing for the Arabic speaking community besides the English-speaking community. It has been gaining increasing readership over the last year because of its honesty in prize draws.

It is the most popular newspaper on an international level because it is the first newspaper to have its website on the Internet and it is the first English-language newspaper to be founded in the Republic of Yemen. The number of people who accessed the website of Yemen Times (yementimes.com) from 1999 exceeds 5 million people.

Many of the ads come on the Internet pages in the form of inaugurations, announcement of new products, press releases etc. This also increased the number of ads from other countries as well. Yemen Times is distributed in Qatar, Oman and will soon be distributed in large numbers in UAE and Saudi Arabia, plus the horn of Africa.

YT is the most widely active newspaper in Yemen in producing color supplements and magazines. So far it had published around 15 supplements, and it is willing to publish more in the near future.

It is obvious from all that, that Yemen Times is the fastest growing newspaper in Yemen, with a doubling circulation every year, it is expected to top other newspapers, both Arabic and English in the future.

One can attribute most of the success of Yemen Times to its founder, economist Prof. Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Saqqaf, who left his relationships and fingerprints with Yemen Times after he died in 1999. Now thanks to him, YT stands strong as a competent newspaper on a regional scale. Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Saqqaf was the only journalist in the Middle East to receive the prestigious New York-National Press Club award in 1994.
