The Children's Television Workshop (the producers of Sesame Street) have created a number of localized versions of Sesame Street (usually in cooperation with a local production company or broadcaster). Some examples of Sesame Street around the world:

Sisimpur -- Sesame Street Bangledesh features Ki Khobo


Zhima Jie -- Sesame Street China featuring Big Bird's cousin, Da Niao


Alam Simsim -- Sesame Street Egypt featuring Nimnim


Sesamestrasse -- from Germany features Samson


Sippuray Sumsum (also Shalom Sesame)- from Israel features Noah and Brosch


Hikayat Simsim - from Jordan features Juljul and Tonton


Plaza Sésamo from Mexico features Abelardo (another cousin of Big Bird) and Lola


Sesamstraat is from the Netherlands and features Pino and Leniemienen


Hikayat Simsim is from Palestine and features Kareem and Haneen


Ulitsa Sezam is from Russia and features Businka


Takalani Sesame is from South Africa and features Kami


There are also the following versions:

Vila Sésamo (Brazil), Sesame Park (Canada), Iftah Ya Simsim (Kuwait), Sesam Stasjon (Norway), Sesame! or Batibot (Philippines), Rua Sésamo (Portugal), Barrio Sésamo (Spain) and Susam Sokaği (Turkey).


EDIT: I just found out that CTW is now called Sesame Workshop.
