How these numbers are made

We collect the ads published openly in Meta's Ad Library by advertisers selling in the six Gulf countries, and keep only ads with Arabic text. This report counts the newest 20,000 ads that entered the library; on the site the numbers are refreshed every hour.

The country is where the ad runs, as Meta's library states it. The store platform comes from the ad's link and its landing page. The product category comes from words in the ad's text and headline, so it is an estimate, not an official classification.
