Asharq Documentary and Asharq Discovery are excited to unveil an exclusive selection of documentaries, factual programs, and insightful content tailored for the month of Ramadan.

Viewers can access a diverse array of content for free across Asharq’s TV channels—Asharq Discovery and Asharq Documentary—as well as on digital platforms, social media, and the Asharq VOD service, NOW.

Leading this year’s lineup, Asharq Documentary showcases two original productions that delve into cultural and historical narratives. Saudi Mosques explores the restoration of historic mosques in Saudi Arabia under the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Project, emphasizing efforts to preserve architectural and cultural heritage.

Expanding its rich offerings, Asharq Documentary introduces two exclusive new titles. Fasting: The New Investigation investigates the rising global trend of fasting, from detox regimens to intermittent fasting, highlighting its health benefits and the scientific discussions surrounding it. Royal Table invites viewers on a culinary journey, revealing the history and cultural significance of royal feasts from various regions.

The lineup also features a selection of health-focused documentaries, including Our Brain, which uncovers groundbreaking discoveries about the human mind, and The Nature Effect, which illustrates how nature positively influences both physical and mental well-being.

Asharq Discovery offers an engaging mix of programs this Ramadan, merging entertainment with informative content. A returning favorite, The Critics, now in its third season, showcases top Saudi critics providing daily reviews and insights on Ramadan dramas. Additionally, Fatafeat’s popular cooking show Matbakh Manal Al Alem continues to be a highlight, available for free viewing.

Asharq’s NOW library further enhances the Ramadan experience with some of Asharq Discovery’s best original titles, including Bassma, Food Tales, Test Drive Riyadh, In Other News, and Diet Master. Covering themes from true crime and inspiring stories to food, cinema, business, and health, the platform ensures a diverse viewing experience throughout the holy month.

Commenting on the shows, Mohammed Al Yousei, General Manager of Asharq Discovery and Asharq Documentary, stated: “The entertainment industry is experiencing a significant shift in audience preferences, with a marked increase in demand for non-drama and documentary content. At Asharq, we are at the forefront of this shift by redefining factual entertainment—providing audiences with an alternative to traditional Ramadan viewing through investigative storytelling, cultural explorations, and inspiring narratives. With our multiplatform approach, we ensure that premium content is more accessible than ever, catering to the evolving tastes of today’s viewers.”
