The great dramatic history carried by the star Dima Kandalaft makes the audience excited to follow her in the Ramadan 2026 drama, to witness her artistic presence in the series “Al-Nawailati”, where she plays the role of “Khawla”, the strong and influential woman whose life intersects with the character “Faisal Al-Ghawas” played by Samer Al-Masry, to become the focus of events and a central presence in an escalating conflict that mixes emotion, power and interests in an exciting way.

The series “Al-Nawailati” belongs to the world of historical fantasy, but it is inspired by the Damascene heritage, especially the profession of the Damascene loom, including: raising silkworms and extracting silk. It also highlights the role of the “Kar” sheikhs in protecting the Damascene identity over time, as they were a social shield that preserved the city’s spirit in the face of intrusions.

As for the series “Backstage,” Dima plays the role of an investigative journalist called “Lara,” where the events of the series begin with excitement and mystery, when “Lara” finds a photo album that reveals the forgotten story of the young singer, “Ghina Habib,” who disappeared in the nineties, which prompts her to enter worlds inhabited by gagged mouths, ruled by exploitation, scandals, and the silence of the entertainment industry, and the ghost of the past continues to haunt her present.
