High photography costs and licensing fees are believed to be behind the decision to close the magazine.
The September issue will be the last, executives with knowledge of the situation told The National.
Car Middle East is published under license from Bauer Consumer Media, which owns Car magazine in the UK.
The title is Britain's oldest monthly motoring title, and dates back to 1962. Bauer acquired Car as part of its takeover of Emap's consumer-magazine division in 2008.
ITP declined to comment when contacted by The National.
