Zee Alwan is an Indian & Arabian cable satellite television channel owned and operated by Zee Entertainment Enterprises, a media and entertainment company based in UAE, Dubai. It majorly airs programmes in Arabic and other regional languages of Arab World. The channel is also available in Arabian countries in The Middle East, Europe, Africa and North America. A part of the Essel Group, it started to broadcast on 10 October 2012 as the first Arabic language cable & Satellite channel in Arab World.[1]
Zee Alwan marks the first time that some of India's most popular television serials are brought to the Middle East in Arabic. The move builds on the growing popularity of Bollywood in the Arab world as well as the strong and historic cultural links between the Arab world and India, with Indian family serials set to appeal to Arabic audiences.
Zee Alwan will be set apart for its diverse programming, which not only includes dubbed Indian serials but also popular shows on cookery, health and fitness, and travel features, among others. A number of Arabic serials, produced and set in the Arab world, will also be aired.
