Focusing primarily on factual and reality-based programming, Quest Arabiya broadcast for 24 hours a day and was expected to reach an estimated 45 million households across 22 countries. The channel was targeted toward a wide demographic of Arabic-speaking males and females while specifically targeting males 16+ at key times in the schedule.

Content from Discovery's library of factual entertainment shows have been voice-over translated into Arabic. Soon afterward, an English track was launched, allowing viewers to watch the programs in their original language without voice-over translation into Arabic.

On 24 April 2019, the channel announced on their Facebook page that the channel will cease broadcasting on 1 May 2019 without giving a reason.

The channel ceased operations on 1 May 2019.

Programming
gollark: <@312031356169224203> <#482370338324348932> is limited to 1 message per 5 minutes, so seriously, what *are* you on about?
gollark: I do wish the internetworking companies would just use some sort of scheme of limited bandwidth with some allowance for short peaks instead of data caps, which would match closer to what the actual constraints are.
gollark: Though over here they're mostly just used on mobile phone connections, not home ones.
gollark: Data caps do kind of work well at getting people to use less *bandwidth* because people don't use their internet connection as much, but they don't actually have some finite amount of internets or something weird like that.
gollark: Though you do need sensible small parties in the first place.
