Articles about Levantine — guides & tips

Jordan is the most surprising country on Kick's hours-watched chart in 2026. Two Jordanian creators, absi (Hani Al-Qablan) and maherco (Maher Sultaneh), occupy the global #1 and #2 slots by hours watched in Q1 2026 per Streams Charts, with 34.4 million and 25.4 million viewer-hours respectively. That places a country of about 11.5 million people ahead of the United States, Colombia, and Japan on the platform's most-engagement-heavy ranking. The Jordanian Kick scene runs in Levantine Arabic, draws cross-border audiences from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and parts of Iraq, and has carved out a tone that does not quite match Khaleeji, Egyptian, or Maghrebi Kick. This guide walks through the top ten Jordanian creators on the platform as of May 2026, the Levantine Arabic context that explains why Amman became a Kick hub, the content categories Jordanian audiences actually consume, and how the four big Arabic dialect cohorts (Levantine, Khaleeji, Egyptian, Maghrebi) overlap and where they don't.
