arab (.arab)

.arab is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) sponsored by the League of Arab States, an organization of 22 member states. It is intended for use by the Arab community worldwide, including individuals, businesses, and organizations that identify with Arab culture, language, or heritage. The domain is open to anyone who can demonstrate a connection to the Arab world, though specific eligibility rules may apply. The League of Arab States manages the registry from its headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, with technical support from the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of the UAE. The .arab TLD was delegated to the League in May 2017, making it a relatively recent addition to the internet's namespace. Its purpose is to provide a digital space that reflects Arab identity and promotes Arabic content online.
