  1. Created by a UAE media company and produced by Atlantic in 2019. Real title is “History of the Emirates”. Narrated by Jeremy Irons in the 3 part international version which differs a bit from the 5 part Arabic version

    1. Googled Episode One: Taming The Desert, which brought up – historyoftheemirates.com/en/episodes/taming-the-desert/ – which seems to be it. Looks interesting. Will watch.
