"Ghubar al-Azz" – A Gulf Heritage

The cast of the series “Ghubar al-Azz” revealed the final stages of filming the drama’s scenes during a press conference held yesterday, attended by several of the series’ stars and creators. They outlined the details of the dramatic experience, which aims to present a Gulf heritage epic with a visual approach that blends the authenticity of the narrative with the richness of the local environment, while leveraging the latest capabilities and technologies in image production.

“Ghubar al-Azz” is produced by Cast for Artistic Production, with support from the Media City, in a move that reflects a trend to revive local heritage drama through a large-scale project that evokes the features of the Gulf environment in its details. The series is written by Talal Al-Dosari and directed by Mohammad Al-Tawalla, and stars more than 100 actors and actresses from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan.

Writer Talal Al-Dosari explained that the work is set in the Gulf Bedouin environment, noting that the idea stemmed from a desire to present a more comprehensive image of Gulf society, encompassing both its Bedouin and urban components, and highlighting the interaction and cohesion between them. He added that the project begins by evoking an important period in the history of Gulf society, illustrating how the unity of its components helped confront tyranny and shape the characteristics of the Gulf society known today.

For his part, director Mohammad Al-Tawalla expressed his happiness at the opportunity to visit Qatar and take on this major project, which represents an important milestone in his career, particularly because it deals with two interrelated environments: the Bedouin and the urban.
