Long a video-streaming staple, Shahid is a great destination for content that’s available on MBC 1–4 on its free, ad-supported tier. With its sleek design, content surfing is quick and easy, which means that you can get straight to the important business of watching.
What we love: Shahid is home to a superb collection of classic Arabic content, must-see TV shows and top-rated documentaries, as well as exclusive Arabic films and hit international titles. There’s even more to be unlocked with the “Shahid VIP” and “Sports on Shahid VIP” subscriptions. The latter will bring you every twist and turn of the F1 season, while both packages offer the latest edge-of-your-seat drama series and Shahid originals such as Family Matter, The Visit, The Bridge and much more.
Quick tip: The app supports AirPlay, which lets you easily stream your favourite show or film straight from your device to your TV.
Meet the creator: Founded by MBC Group in 2008, Shahid is a popular local streaming service based in Dubai. It’s known for being consistently refreshed with new content and for its hit original titles.
