Arabic dialects/Saudi Arabic or Gulf
Hi!

I am learning Arabic, mostly modern standard at this point. I am hoping to find some resources (music, tv shows, movies, podcasts) where they are speaking a dialect from Saudi Arabia or from around the UAE. I just want to get accustomed to listening for those dialects.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

One of my favourite TV shows is called مبتعثات. It’s about young Saudi women who go to study in the US. You can watch it here (link to first episode): <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTDMzFDXuY" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;">https://youtube.com/watch?v=sMTDMzFDXuY</a>;

There are a lot of Saudi content creators on YouTube. One of my favourite YouTube originals is يعرب. It’s a cartoon that revolves around a traditional healer and explores ancient Arab mythology. You can watch it here (link to first episode): <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_0eWip7EKdE" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;">https://youtube.com/watch?v=_0eWip7EKdE</a>;

Also check out other playlists on the same channel. It’s a YouTube production studio.

There are quite a few such production studios in the Gulf region, especially Saudi. Another popular one is تلفاز١١: <a href="https://m.youtube.com/user/telfaz11" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;">https://youtube.com/user/telfaz11</a>;

Hi, here you can find a good show in Kuwait dialect it his English subtitle so that's why I'm recommending this one for you

Most of the episodes have English subtitle.

Here you can find a good Saudi show, few episodes have English subtitle so I hope they will be helpful for you.

also a like this Saudi show, however it doesn't have any subtitle.

Recently, I watched this Saudi show, all the episodes aren't related to each other so you can pick whatever episode you like.

That's what I could remember until now. If you have any questions regarding Arabic or any Arabic dialect you can ask me anytime.
