Matabb - Palestinian Ramadan TV Series

مَطَبّ is a speedbump.

And it's also the name of the first ever Palestinian produced TV series, which was aired in Ramadan 2008. The month of fasting is an annual event for TV in the Muslim world - lots of series are created especially and aired every night.

You can watch all 10 episodes, with English subtitles, on the Goethe Institut website.
