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.
