It is not often that we find a series that captures every single viewer, starting from little children to the elderly people, but it seems that ‘Bab El Hara 2’ has somehow managed to do this. It's a fact that when ‘Bab El Hara 2’ is on, most of the streets around the Arab world are empty and there's somewhat of a deadly silent about! Haven't you noticed that?!
I personally, with the rest of my family, run to the television room after Iftar to catch the episode from it's very beginning, we can't miss the song! The song is so worth hearing! I love it, the words are fantabulous and i like the tune. Don't you?
Photos from Bab Al Hara 1 and 2
Even children watch this series and relate to the younger characters and even play a game where each takes on the role of each child in the ‘Hara’. What is more astonishing than the faithful viewers is how ‘Bab El Hara’ has affected the culture and social habits! People are now greeting each other with ‘Salam Ageed’, a popular greeting in the series, and are even beginning to see themselves in all of the characters.
Don't you love how manly the Ageed is? or how hyper-active Mutaz is always?
Don't you feel like smacking the mother of Lutfieh in the face most of the time? I sure do!
It has been a while since a series has been so effective and successful and is really a joy to watch.
OMGG I LUV THIS SHOWWW.. ITSSS ADDICTIVE..and i luv mutaz.. his the best... and i have to hear the songgggg itss so niceeeee best how ever

OMG I ABSOLUTELEY LOVE BAB EL HERA AND THE SONG IS SOOOO GOOD U CANT MISS IT CAN U WALEG...LOL I LOVE IT AND THE RANDOM SCREAMS AT THE BACKGROUND IN THE MUSLSAL HAHA
I DEFFINETLY HAVE BAB EL HERA FEVER
It's a boring and weird show if you ask me. Another way of Syria trying to make shows like Layaly el Helmia, Zezinya, and many other old and perfect Egyptian shows. I've tried watching it, it's just well...bad. And that's MY opinion, so there is no need for anyone to say anything uncesseray. I'm pretty sure I did not insult anyone in this post....
Anyways I used to watch HOOR EL EIN, that was a good syrian show. Other than that, I've never, and probably never will watch antoher Syrian show. I just prefer the Egyptian ones. Which is STILL the Hollywood of the Middle East, and we still produce great shows every year.
Thats your opinion MASRI because you are MASRI and you should be proud of your country's work :)
However, my opinion is that Syrian series are no.1 these last 2 years and the examples you mentioned like Layaly el Helmia, Zezinya and totally something else ... those 2 series in addition to several ones from that gold times are top series that can be watched over and over again :)
This year my top are Bah Al Hara which is a fantastic series and King Farook which i want to congratulate Egyptian writer Dr. Lamis Gaber and Syrian director Hatem Ali who i really admire for all his work especially Muluk Altawef which was a GREAT TV Series.
Well, I wont deny Bab el Hara has been getting the some of the top views, but I don't think that one series can eliminate many of the great works Egypt produced for over 30 years. And yes, Hatem Ali is a great director. Malek Farouq is probably the best directed series this year. And Lamis Gaber, who I bealive is Yehya El Fakhrani's wife did a great job of getting all the specfic information. 15 years of reasearch, wow. As I said, we are all intitled to our own opinions :)
MASRI! KEEP UR BORING, WEIRD AND BAD OPINIONS TO YOURSELF...WHY ARE YOU EVEN COMMENTING ON BAB AL HARA ...
U NEED TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF BY ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT YOU REALLY LOVE SYRIAN SHOWS AND CAN'T STAND THAT SYRIA IS AND HAS BEEN PRODUCING BETTER SHOWS THAN EGYPT FOR MANY YEARS NOW...ANYWAYS, I'M SURE I DIDN'T INSULT YOU WITH MY OPINION... :{
bab alhara is the bestttt
abu esam 2!
Bab El Hara is the best show ever! I think Syrian shows have always been the best! This is the most popular show during Ramadan. I hope they have Bab El Hara 3 next Ramadan. Lutfieh's mom is crazy and such a rude mother. I feel bad for Abou Essam, they are all ignoring him...how sad! I love this show so much and the theme song is amazing, I like the words...I have the song on my Ipod! Bab El Hara is the best!
hey masri im a lebanese girl i love egyptian shows a lot but last year and this year the best best best show is bab al 7ara we all arab people in GERMANY watch it.. and dont say the egpytian shows are the best ur right but not this year and we ALLL ARAB
NADO, I understand that Bab El Hara has been the top viewed show the last few years.
But All I'm saying is that we can't erase a great history of the greatest shows ever made, because of one show. Egypt's cinema is over 100 years, and we've been making shows for over 40 years.
Anyways, thats YOUR opinion, and atleast you said it without having to sound so uneducated (ehm...NOTMASRI)
Plus, can someone tell me what the show is actually about. :)
MASRI, I ONLY REPEATED WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY WROTE AND I'M GLAD YOU SEE THAT YOUR WORDS AND YOU SOUND SO UNEDUCATED...YOU TALK BAD ABOUT THE SHOW AND YET YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT....I'M NOT GOING TO SUGAR COAT MY OPINION OR SAY IT AS IF YOU WERE A CHILD ...WIPE AWAY YOUR TEARS AND GROW UP AND TRULY ACCEPT OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS, YOUR OPINION IS RUDE AND REALLY CHILDISH...anyways thats MY opinion and at least I said it direct to someone who may not be that educated :{
Before last year the best show in ramadan was layali el salhiye. but last year and this year its beb el hara 1&2!!!!! yayyy i wana know wats gonna happen at the end but i heard theers gna be a part 3, which i dont want to happen! I want it to finsih this year, cant stand waiting for next ramadan again :( .
loll i love metaz as well, espacially wen he hit abu bader and abu ghalib lmao i literrally started laughing :)
Just hope letfiye doesnt get bak to 3issam, hate her mum!!
anywaysssssss just droped by to leave my complementssssssss.
could sum1 plz post a link for the theme song of bab el hara?
i was searchin the net for it and only found the 'ya rab' one.
thanks
masri u must be tripin who the hell doesnt like bab el hara thats all i watch on tv i love the song so much.
"I talk bad about the show"
Is that even English? No seriously, you need to have bigger vocabulary. I guess I was not wrong when I said you where uneducated. You obviously have trouble accepting other people opinions. You like the show, I don't. Do I have to like it because you do, NO!
You can even compare a 5 part masterpiece --Leily el Helmiya- to Bab el Hara. I did not say the show is "bad", I just said that it's just not up to the potiential of other masterpieces produced decades before it.
Correction:
You *CAN'T compare a 5 part masterpiece..........
waleg are the pic posted with abou issam and his daughters season 1 pic and the one he is in jail
i hate their accent but i love this show..if it masri it would be great show cause sooori is worst night mare act and their accent..
i think bab al har 2 is better, and i hate akeed he;s very bossy around..
akeed muush akeed
yes H.A.R. it would be cool you to slap Lutfieh not his mother. SO if you want me to teach you how to knock his face with the construction building rock i will love to teach you, and to be proud of yourself..
please akeed is not manly actually he's girly acting.../
masri ur da one that has bad vocabulary just be quiet and yes udo have to like it if i like it so shut up ight
Ghadeer, I wasn't directing my comment to you. It was to NOTMASRI. Sorry for not making it clear. :)
AHMAD:if you dont like the accent then DONT WATCH IT and stop relating syrian shows to egyptian shows.There both great and its not which one is better just this year syrian shows hit better then egyptian shows but it doesent mean that egyptian shows are ugly who knows next year maybe egyptian shows are better.(This goes to MASRI)
MASRI...WOW!!! YOU HAVE A VERY SMALL MIND...GET OVER THE LAST SHOW YOU LOVED...ITS ALL ABOUT BAB AL HARA NOW!!!
AHMED, YOU'RE RIDICULOUS...DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND ARABIC??? CUZ IF YOU DID U WOULD LOVE THE ACCENT!!!
MASRI, I'M SURE UR LOVING THE ATTENTION!!! I DON'T NEED TO READ ANYMORE REMARKS FROM YOU AND AHMED FOR THAT MATTER.
I hope these uneducated words make you happy, NotMasri. But because we Egyptians have class -unlike other people- we won't answer with another swearing, that's for low people.
I love this show i love the ageed and moutaz .I love the song so much.And ahmad if u hate their accent just don't watch it.And Masri u don't know the show and u r talking about it and saying that it is bad u have such a small mind.
hi everybody i want to say that bab alhara is the most beautiful series ever and alwayes syrian series are the best ; otherwise the egyptain series are beautiful like kadiyat ra2y 3am and donai but sorry not all and not every time this is my owne opinion thx and keep watching it its amazing truly
Bab el 7ara is an awesome show! I admit that I barely watched Part 1 but Part 2 really did catch my attention! My favorite charactor is Mo3taz, he has such a great personality! And his actions are so cute and manly! =D
Ahmed,
when you state that you hate "their accent," you are indirectly making fun of the Syrian accent. There is no need to be harsh and denounce the Syrian accent. It's pretty insulting.
I think you have to be Syrian to fully appreciate Bab al-hara. Most of the conversations include Old Syrian words and proverbs. It's very entertaining. And the acting is amazingly superb. I don't feel like I'm watching actors. Instead, I feel I'm part of the hara. Abbas al-nouri has done an exceptional job portraying his character.
The only egyptian show that I'm watching this Ramadan is King farouq, mainly because of Hatem Ali and Taym hasan.
to Masri
jealousy speaks aloud
lool
i think bab el hara is a great show!! really , i even watch more than kaleeji series, its great, anywayz we r all arabz and we should support each other not criticize each other, if u dont like the show, its your problem!! dont try to enforce your opinion on other people and make them look bad, we all know Egypt has good drama amd makes the best series and movies , no one said anything about it!! so chill out, but its not alwayz about egypt , its can be about ohter countries too, like khaleej or syria , or lebanon. anywayz dont enforce your opinion.
Bab Al7ara has to be the most amazing soap that there is... I sure do have Bab Al7ara fever; and the song? I have it on my iPod and have it set as my ringtone on my mobile! HAHA! It really is fantastic and addictive.. Ma3taz leaves me in stitches from laughing and Dalal and Ibrahim make me cry! I love the Syrian accent and have resulted to asking my friends 'shoo sar' and 'shubak' and 'shu badeek' when I am an Iraqi! Anyway, the Syrians did an excellent job and I really wish for Bab Al7ara 3!!!!
Juju, can you plz tell me where to find the song?
well it can be boring sometimes..but atleast they know how to entertain...unlike some other arabian shows.
Oh, look everybody!
MASRI is gonna teach us how to speak english...
3ala Akher e-zaman wa7id masri iz makin fun of the syrian accent plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz give me a BIG FAT BREAK.........i am not from egypt or syria but i will choose the syrian accent over egyptian accent ANY GIVEN DAY
u dont mess with BAB AL 7ARA ...
n ahmed just roll ur tongue n swallow it
MASRI, I'M SURE YOU'RE READING ALL OF THE REMARKS ABOVE AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THERE TALKING ABOUT....
AHMED IS OFFICIALLY DUMB WITH MASRI BEING EVEN DUMBER...
BAB AL HARA ANY DAY!!!!!
How come all channels have 3-5 Egyptians show, and like 1 syrian? Oh ya, we can't entertain people....
We've been entertaining people for over 100 years, Masr om el donia.
It's really sad what people are saying and doing about little show... sad.
Not masri
I already beat two guys today!
don’t get out my nerve I will shake you from the ceiling and to the floor until u say sorry.
So what if I said I don’t like soori accent that doesn’t mean I hate soori nass.
And I said I like this show s my fav../
Not masri is crap chicken
Masri,
there are at least four syrian shows. I can list them for you:
Bab al-hara
Al hafet al-hawya
Seqr Quraish
Khalid bin al-walid 2
No one is disputing that Egyptian drama has been dominating the Arab TV for some time. However, there is no reason for other countries to participate and produce great shows. Syria has demonstrated to be very capable of producing excellent shows in the past couple of years. I mean the historical Syrian shows have been superb on all levels. And let's say competition is good for everyone. Egyptians need competition. Not only do I want to watch Syrian and Egyptian series, but I'm looking forward to watching Jordanian, Tunisian, Moroccan, Yemeni, and Iraqi shows. I think when you have shows from different cultures, we can better understand each other and learn from our traditions. It's definitely a learning experience. For instance, Bab al-hara is very educational because it demonstrates the Syrian culture and traditions.
Although I don't like to get into pity conversations about which is a better country, I'm pretty bothered by your statement that " masr is omm ul-donya." Why do we have to always feel superior? I believe every Arab country is equal, and each one is filled with so much history and civilization. Damascus is the oldest city in the world, and it's filled with rich culture.
Anyhow, I hope to see more shows from different countries and hopefully it will become a perfect competition industry.
Audrey, you are very smart. I like the way you think! I agree with you, I am the same I enjoy all shows and I like to watch shows from all around the Arab World because it teaches us about their traditions and ways.
I love Bab El Hara and I am not Syrian, I am Jordanian...I watch Khaleeji, Masri, Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese and many other shows. It's nice to watch Syrian shows...I think they are the most interesting shows to watch, I love the accent so much but also there are great Egyptian shows, Egypt has a great history of successful shows, musicians and so on, same as other countries. I think the Arab World should all accept each other and unite as one. We are all equal nobody is better than the other.
Masri, if you dont like bab alhara why are you sittin here commenting it, if u dont like it then keep your opinions to yourself. Just go comment one of your egyption series. i'm not saying i dont like them i watch whatever is on tv but bab alhara is the best and i have to admit the egyptian series do get boring sometimes because i think that the stories are the same most of the time, thats my opinion.
Peace!!!
AHMED YOUR TOO MUCH....
TWO WORDS...."GROW UP"
THE QUESTION IS WHO HAS BAB AL HARA FEVER? IT'S A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION...DON'T MAKE IT HARDER THAN IT IS.
ITS OKAY IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOW JUST DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT THE SHOW AND THE ACCENT(HINT HINT....MASRI) IF YOU LIKE ANOTHER COUNTRYS' SHOW THAN STICK TO WATCHING THOSE SHOWS(AHM...MASRI), NO NEED TO DISRESPECT THE SHOW AND THE COUNTRY AND THE ACCENT...
