1) Daily Press Summary 

Caabu members receive a daily summary of all news relating to the Arab world, from current affairs to culture, which is covered in the five main British newspapers- The Financial Times, The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph and The Times. 

This is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to keep up-to-date with relevant news as well as to gain an insight into the UK's press coverage of the Arab world (we do not filter anything out).

Caabu offers its members the opportunity to enjoy its full events' programme, holding frequent events both in Parliament and in our board room, some of which are held exclusively for members. 

These events feature expert speakers, cover a wide range of issues from across the region and also provide excellent networking opportunities. 2018 promises to be another busy events' programme. 

 

3) Caabu's new weekly events' guide 

Caabu now sends out a weekly guide to our members containing upcoming events, TV and radio programmes, and exhibitions and plays which may be of interest to you. 

These listings have been well received so far and we make a particular effort to include events from across the UK, ideal for those who are unable to attend our events in London.
