Mendeel Um A7mad Art Installation
Really cool art installation in Kuwait exploring gender: Mendeel Um A7mad
FYI: A “7” in Arabic text transliterated into Roman letters is a very breathy “h” sound, different from a “normal h” sound. So A7mad could also be written Ahmad.

A web-serial from Lebanon about a kid, his delivery business, and his strange mix of friends and acquaintances. English subtitles are available under the “CC” in youtube.
Kind of dramatic as far as the story goes, but fun. As for the language, it’s pretty natural Lebanese Arabic (not overacted like a lot of serials). They deal with some social issues...
