Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ras El-Bar was the aspirational destination for Cairo's emerging middle class in the 1960s, making this a document of social mobility dreams.
Nagwa Fouad was primarily a bellydancer; this rare acting role captures her crossover appeal before she became Egypt's legendary 'Queen of Oriental Dance.'
