Heritage
The Read. archive
Read. was a free Dubai lifestyle magazine published from 2011 to 2019 — in print and on the web, distributed to commuters through the Dubai Metro.
For eight years the magazine covered the city at street level: local news and community stories, RTA and Metro coverage, events and entertainment, travel, fashion and lifestyle, health and fitness, tech and gadgets, motoring, film reviews, competitions, and a classifieds section where readers traded with each other. Issues were also published as PDFs on the original readme.ae site.
The issue archive
199 issues of the original magazine — starting with the weekly run from June 2011 — have been restored to this site as PDF scans, preserved via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine captures of readme.ae. Dates are taken from each PDF’s own file metadata. Issues that survive only in the Wayback Machine are restored here over time.

The relaunch
readme.ae is back online as a practical guide to Dubai, keeping the magazine’s name and its beat. A number of original stories are preserved at their old addresses, and the rest of the old site now points readers to the closest current section. How and why the site returned: about the relaunch.
