As was expected, The National, the Abu Dhabi newspaper launched by former Daily Telegraph editor Martin Newland last month, plans to become a seven-day operation by the end of the year, possibly October, reported the Guardian.

The National was launched last month, with such success that it sold out two days running.

The paper had been running six days a week (Sunday through Friday) because staff doesn't work on Friday, a holy day for muslims, and thus wasn't published on Saturdays.

The new Saturday edition could include motoring and traveling sections, as well as a color magazine.
