Syrian series Ahl Al Raya is one of the many series on TV channels this Ramadan, but according to it's producer, Ahl Al Raya is one of a kind! (You can watch Ahl Al Raya only on Rotana Khalijia!)
Some people went to say that Ahl Al Raya is an imitation of the successful series Bab el Hara, but this series proves to be unique and based on historical facts!
Producer Firas Dabbas, who was behind the series Al Taghriba Al Falastinia a few years back, said that it's not fair to put those two series in the balance, because one is fictitious while the other based on historical events in the year 1890.
The story is that of the ever so old conflict between good and bad!

It revolves around the merchant Abou Hasan and his family matters and business troubles.
Abou Hasan is played by famous Syrian actor Jamal Sulaiman.
Other actors starring in the series are Rafiq Sbeii, Karis Bashar, Muna Wasef, Khaled Taja, Najah Hafiz, Abdul Rahman Al Rashi, Ayman Ridha and Samia Al Jazairi.

Taj Haidar, who previously played Jamileh in Bab el Hara, has changed lanes and is also part of the cast of the series.
She did mention in a previous interview, that she found Ahl Al Raya to have a stronger scenario from Bab el Hara 3 and that's why she left!
