Dalila wal-Zaybaq (دليلة والزيبق) is a 2011 Syrian historical adventure series set during the Mamluk era, spanning Cairo, Baghdad, and Damascus. At its heart is a gripping battle between good and evil — Dalila, a cunning and ruthless woman who stops at nothing to achieve her goals, and Zaybaq, a brave young hero who rises to confront her wickedness after she kills his father. A lavish reimagining of a beloved classic from Arab folklore, starring Karis Bashar and Wael Sharaf.

The series tackles a number of negative contemporary social phenomena, shedding light on the challenges encountered by young people, like violence against children, poverty, homelessness, begging, slave trade, motherhood, family disintegration, and honor crimes.
