Good amount of those ads are not original Arabic production, they're dubbed or themes are imported from other famous ads, to keep up. (talk about loss of identity!)
There is the usual stereotyping, but everywhere in the world chances are that ads will depict chefs are men, butlers are men, nurses are women, babysitters are women, pilots are men, earth is a women, tornados are women…etc.
Most of those are paid-for profit generating commercials for consumers, the ones you're referring to are on non-profit basis, they're aired too on many Arab satellite channels, to name but a few, the MBC4 ones on punctual praying, well-treatment of house helpers, humans are equal..etc, and those ones are very Arabic campaigns.
Just some scattered thoughts here, never mind me..:)
