A modern classic of Arab television. A social drama set in the 1920s in Damascus- It highlights Damascene life, noble values, and ancient customs and traditions represented by the people of Harat al-Dabeh who fled to Harat al-Salihiyah after the French bombed Harat al-Dabeh. The events take place after the gold is stolen from the house of the cloth merchant Abu Ibrahim, and the guard Abu al-Samu is killed. The men of the neighborhood try to find the thief.

In this series we follow the story of 30 grooms preparing for marriage under very different circumstances. Each represents different social strata as determined by their careers, their families, and their lifestyle. We examine the way each character deals with family and social relations, their outlook on life, their behavior towards their future spouse, and the difficulties that ultimately lead to the dissolution of their engagements causing the process to begin again.
