Modern Turkish culture, notably in the form of soap operas, has never been more widely broadcast on TV screens throughout the Middle East, the Balkans, and beyond. Turkish soap operas have been widely credited with boosting the nation's "soft power" and driving up tourism as viewers travel to Turkey to visit the homes of their favorite TV characters.

Turkey exported more than 100 television shows to more than 20 nations in 2011, bringing in more than $60 million. SILVER LINING: Gümüfl, or "Silver" in English, is frequently cited as the origin of the soap craze. In Turkey, this soap opera was only shown for two years, from 2005 to 2007. It was only somewhat well- received there. But the pan-Arab television network MBC, run by Saudi media billionaire Sheik Waleed Al Ibrahim and based in Dubai, certainly saw greater potential in the drama's storylines. The network acquired the rights to rebroadcast the show, giving it the Arabic name "Noor." Thus, the series was presented to the Arab world, where it quickly became popular. The story centers on the title character, a self-sufficient woman who boldly operates a business, and her loving and attractive husband, Muhannad. The soap reflects a contemporary Turkish lifestyle. They both practice Islam with piety and observe Muslim customs like Ramadan, but they also indulge in alcohol, the ladies typically don't cover their heads, and sexual themes are also depicted. Yet Arab viewers do not appear to have been turned off by this. According to Variety magazine, "Noor," which MBC started airing in the Arab globe in early 2008, attracted 85 million viewers from Morocco to Palestine for its final episode that month. One of the primary explanations for "Noor's" widespread success among Arab audiences is that MBC used a conversational dialect of Syrian Arabic that is easily understood by the majority of Middle Eastern viewers, as opposed to dubbing the shows in classical Arabic, as had been the custom for other foreign (mostly Latin American) soap operas. Following "Noor's" spectacular popularity, Turkish melodramas flooded television sets around the region.
