Al-Wasat Channel
Al-Wasat Channel is a privately-owned Bahraini newspaper and former satellite television channel, founded in 2002 with a reputation for independent and moderate reporting. Its television broadcast license was revoked by the Bahraini government in 2017, citing allegations of broadcasting content that threatened national security and sectarian harmony, which critics viewed as a move to suppress dissent. The newspaper continues to operate online.
Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Its history is rooted in the Islamic belief that during this month in 610 CE, the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
Arab Cities
“Arab Cities” refers to urban centers across the Arab world, historically founded as vital hubs for trade, scholarship, and Islamic civilization, often centered around a mosque and marketplace. Many, such as Cairo, Damascus, and Baghdad, have ancient roots and feature distinctive architectural elements like courtyards and intricate geometric designs. Their history reflects layers of influence from various empires and a deep connection to the development of Arab culture, language, and commerce.
Syrian
Syria is a country in the Middle East with a rich history as one of the world’s oldest centers of civilization, home to ancient cities like Damascus and Aleppo. Its numerous cultural sites, such as the ruins of Palmyra and the Krak des Chevaliers castle, reflect millennia of influence from various empires, though many have suffered significant damage during the recent Syrian Civil War.
Nilesat
Nilesat is an Egyptian satellite communications company that operates a fleet of satellites providing broadcasting and telecommunications services across the Middle East and North Africa. It was established in 1996 with the launch of its first satellite, Nilesat 101, to expand media accessibility and support the region’s growing television and data transmission needs.
