Abu Dhabi: President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan yesterday issued orders to suspend the transmission of Arabic series 'Sa'adoun Al Awaji' on Abu Dhabi TV.

The order came after calls from many Arab tribes whose history appears in the series. The 30-episode series tells the story of a well-known tribal leader, Shaikh Sa'adoun Al Awaji of the Anazah tribe, who was born in the north of the Arab Peninsula around 1750, and portrays Bedouin life at that time.

The series stars Syrian actor Rashid Assaf and other Syrian, Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari actors. It was being aired exclusively on Abu Dhabi TV and re-aired on Emirates TV. It was shot in the Syrian city of Palmyra.
