Overview

A sweeping saga spanning Egyptian history from the era of King Farouk to the early 21st century, Al Helmeya Nights centres on the bitter rivalry between the Al-Badri and Ghanem families in Cairo's Helmeya neighbourhood. Driven by revenge, ambition, and shifting power, the series — written by Osama Anwar Okasha with over 300 actors across six seasons — is widely considered one of the greatest achievements in Arab television drama.
