Ramadan Mosalsalat Guide 2018
Everything you need to know about the 31 Mosalsals coming to your screen this year.

When it's Ramadan, life as we know it simply ceases to exist. For 30 days, we're given a free pass to stuff our faces with whatever we can get our hands on (from Maghrib onwards, of course), and get locked down in a room with that overly intrusive aunt at least once a week. More importantly, our binge-watching game gets taken to a whole new level with endless mega home-grown drama productions suddenly invading our lives; otherwise known as Mosalsalat. From what is playing to where and when to catch it, here are ALL the Ramadan Mosalsalat coming to your TV screen

What would Ramadan be without a Adel Emam Mosalsal? This year, Emam returns as a journalist who acquires confidential documents which include incriminating evidence on several big government officials.
