Congrats, this has been waited so long, finally Arabic web domains.
Egypt will open the world's first Arabic language internet domain, its communications minister has said.
Last month, internet regulator Icann voted to allow non-Latin web addresses. Domain names can now be written in Arabic, Chinese and other scripts.
I still don't know what will it exactly look like, we may learn about it the next few days hopefully but here is one example I found. http://حوراء.com, if anybody know other examples of Arabic domains please write it down in the comments
The big question is, Will we actually use this domains ? What is it's effect on SEO ? will it have any compatibility issues with different browsers or devices like mobiles etc..?
