The site describes itself as "An open door to the Arab world". From the "about" page: "Al-Bab aims to introduce non-Arabs to the Arabs and their culture. Western explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries portrayed the Arab world as a strange, exotic and sometimes terrifying place. Al-Bab seeks to portray the Arab world neither as an object of fear nor as a cultural curiosity – fascinating though it may be. It tries to look beyond the strange or exotic, to show the Arab world as it is and to explain, as simply as possible, how it has become what it is. It tries to seek out the points of interaction with other cultures rather than the differences; the ways in which the Arab world has influenced other cultures or been influenced by them. It tries, too, to celebrate the achievements of Arab culture and to discuss its failings openly. Al-Bab consists mainly of links to other sites and pages on the internet but also contains some original material. The links are presented in an organized, structured way which is intended to make information easy to find.
