“Ailtna Aqwa” emerges as groundbreaking Libyan television success

“Ailtna Aqwa” (“Our Family is Stronger”) has distinguished itself as Libya’s premier television production this year, effectively crossing local boundaries to captivate a wide Arab audience and generating significant discussion across major media platforms.
The programme has attracted extensive media coverage after its content dominated sharing metrics on TikTok and various social media platforms, achieving unprecedented viewership levels and initiating conversations that have spread from Libya throughout numerous Arab nations.
Originally broadcast on Libya Al-Ahrar TV, the show has earned recognition in discussions across prominent Arab channels and media outlets, owing to its authentic portrayal of Libyan family dynamics and its unscripted entertainment approach based on reality television principles.
Co-hosted by media figure Ikram Al-Qamoudi and Chef Reda Al-Alam, the programme effectively combines traditional social values with everyday culinary arts, successfully engaging viewers during the Ramadan season and validating the ongoing success of this production in its fifth consecutive season.
Chef Reda Al-Alam’s distinctive personality and candid critiques have achieved notable popularity, creating a divided audience of supporters and detractors. Complementing this, Ikram Al-Qamoudi skillfully integrates her culinary knowledge with presentation expertise, creating an exceptional presenting duo in the Libyan television landscape.
In response to this exceptional reception, Libya Al-Ahrar TV intends to expand “Ailtna Aqwa” throughout the Arab world. The programme is strategically positioned to serve as a cultural ambassador and Libyan entry point for Arab viewers whose interest in Libya’s social fabric and everyday experiences has been stimulated by the show.
