Country and language guide
Arabic viewing with a clear country focus
Choose the programmes and sources that feel familiar to your household. This page covers the Saudi Arabian and Egyptian groups in the public directory, giving you a focused starting point for an Arabic viewing request.
Names to add to your shortlist
Name the channel, even within one network family
The Saudi group includes MBC 1, Al Arabiya and Spacetoon; the Egyptian group includes MBC Masr, CBC Egypt and Nile News. Keep names such as MBC 1 and MBC Masr separate in your shortlist so Support can check the feed you mean. Country grouping helps navigation, but it is not confirmation of a particular audio track. Use the news guide for bulletin checks, or the family guide when children will use the screen.
