The X Factor (سير النجاح X, pronounced XSeer Al Najah, literally translated Elixir or Essence of Success) is the Arabic version of the The X Factor. Its first Arabic series started on March 26, 2006.[1] The 14-episode first series was broadcast in 22 Arabic-speaking countries. It was known to be in its debut, one of the most watched programs on TV and it is produced and supported by Rotana[citation needed], the biggest production company in the Arab World. The winner of the competition earned a chance to sign with Rotana.
The X Factor is created by Simon Cowell. The Arabic language version of the program had a similar format to the British version, in that there were three judges who each had four contestants to mentor, resulting in a total of twelve contestants.
However with the continuing success of the rival pan-Arab series Star Academy on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC), XSeer All Najah lost most of its pan-Arab appeal and was discontinued after season 2.
