If the visitors using Zain internet service provider are unable to view the website completely it could be the DNS issue.
Ask any of the visitor to lookup for DNS records of your website.

If the visitors using Zain internet service provider are able to view the website but with old pages then it could be the Zain ISP, who is giving cached pages to the visitors.

I suggest to first check the DNS setting at your webhosting provider.
Then check it from different locations of the World using lookup websites. Make sure that on all the locations A record of your website is same.
If DNS settings looks OK, then go to the Zain ISP and launch a complain.

Apparantly the trouble was from the website it self , they use something called word press to design news website and not sure what exactly is the problem .

Still no body knows what is the cause , but In these thied world countries it seems thier internet service providers r not reliable in there service , forgot , does it make any difference if U host ur websites out side the country where u r ?
does it make any difference if U host ur websites out side the country where u r

It is the Internet server provider (ISP) that can decide what web sites that get through or not. It does not depend on the host site...

For example, my ISP may decide to block access to any .xxx site, no matter where it is hosted!

Hope that helps...
