Omar Effendi has taken audiences by storm and is quickly becoming a hit. With its narrative centred on time travel, the show presents Ahmed Hatem's character, who discovers a hidden dungeon in his late father's room that transports him back to the 1940s. The story, set during Egypt's British occupation, intertwines comedy, drama, and romance, appealing to a wide audience.
