Season 2 • Episode 30
LatestIn the alleys of old Damascus, Abdo makes his living driving a horse-drawn carriage — an honest man in a neighbourhood ruled by the scheming Abu Hamza Al-Nashwati, who has stolen his dead brother's inheritance and turned the whole quarter against anyone who stands in his way. When Abdo falls for a girl and dares to defy the powerful family, a personal conflict spirals into a battle between ordinary decency and entrenched corruption. A warm, character-driven Syrian period drama starring Bassem Yakhour and Salloum Haddad.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ramadan series (musalsalat) traditionally air one episode nightly for 30 days, making the 60-episode two-season structure a deliberate commitment to extended family viewing rituals.
Bassem Yakhour, a comedy star in Syria, took this dramatic role specifically to break typecasting—his casting against expectations mirrors Abdo's own social climbing arc.
