On this blog for Google in the Middle East and North Africa, we share the latest news about our products and services and glimpses of what's going on behind the scenes, with articles by a wide variety of Googlers.

We published our first article about Google in the Middle East and North Africa region in 2011, and since then we've shared nearly a thousand articles. Now we're excited to share Google news on a new site with a new look and functionality. Articles from our previous blog have moved to our new site, so you can always search for previous stories. The new site is available in Arabic as well as English.

This site will always keep pace with Google and technology in general, so expect changes from time to time as interests and trends evolve.

Thank you for reading!
