In the spirit of an end to another year, people tend to review what has passed in order maybe to set up for what's coming afresh, therefore Mahmood Al-Yousif and myself have decided to create an Arab-wide blog awards. We believe it is the first all encompassing award available in the Arab world at the moment. The intention however was never to just be the first at doing something, rather recognising and celebrating our differences as Arabs through the various excellent blogs which have in one way or another increased understanding between Arabs themselves and the wider world. Blogs have truly created a bridge between ourselves, the Arabs and the world at large.
The Best of Arab Blogs Awards therefore has been born. You are welcome to nominate blogs you admire or have come across. There are various categories you can consider, 40 actually! And a blog can be submitted into any one or more categories as you see fit.
The nomination process is not exclusive to blog visitors, but bloggers themselves can nominate their own blog as well, so don't be bashful about submitting your own blog.
In order to spread the word, please consider placing one or more of these icons on your own blog. Of course if you are nominated, then display the "nominated" badge with pride!

Great work :) I love the idea, it will introduce me to more and more great Arab Bloggers!
This is one of the best gifts for Nnew Year… Thanks :)
I’m sure it will.
What we have seen in the past few days/weeks was awards here and there, local or very specific to topics, but nothing that really brings all the Arab Bloggers together. This is when we thought, why not have this.
I hope it introduce new Arab Bloggers as you said, in fact it already did. Some nominations are of Blogs i never heard of.
so, the more the better.
Anyway Eman. Happy New Year to you, MMM, your families and all your dear ones :-)
Wow. What a great idea! Way to go Haitham! We really need to have more Arab stuff around the internet. I’m so happy you made this.
FABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBY! THIS IS LIKE THE BEST EVER IDEA EVER EVER! hahahah am excited!
Thank you Roba and Pink Sushi.
This would not have been possible without having a great community of Arab Bloggers. I hope it become directory of best of the best Arab Blogs.
As for now, rock it, go and nominate your blog and all the best :-)
What a great idea! Thanks guys. I’ve plugged it on my blog, too.
