Adel Emam, the legendary Egyptian actor who has dominated the comedy scene in the Arab world for over five decades, is saying goodbye to the silver screens. With over 100 films and 10 plays under his belt, Emam has carved a niche for himself as a master of satire and social commentary, using humour to tackle sensitive topics and poke fun at societal norms.

Every time we wear denim on denim, we always have to say “Hanafy El Obaha.” It became a fashion standard, and Adel Emam started it all!

The amount of efehat and memes we use daily from Morgan Ahmed Morgan. This movie also showed us the very serious character of Adel Emam amidst his endless comedy roles, which was priceless.

It’s one of the most famous, relatable characters Adel Emam’s ever done, and we can’t get over how much Bahgat El Abaseery makes us roll on the floor laughing. 

Khatab El Naggary – Aris Men Geha Amneya

The jealous father and the father-daughter bond he portrayed with his daughter when she was getting married gave us chills! It also made us laugh in most scenes and cry in all of the others.

Although this movie was somewhat inappropriate, Mr. Qadry and Anitta’s adventures together are quirky and fun. Even in the serious parts, we loved seeing them together!

Magdy – El Bahs ‘An Fedeeha

If you’ve heard the phrase “Dah Wahed Sahby Mate3rafoush” before, we present you the movie behind it all! Magdy in El Bahs ‘An Fedeeha was funny and goofy, and his clumsiness to get the girl he loves was absolutely relatable.
