A major fire ravaged the 80-year-old iconic Al-Ahram Studio in Cairo, causing extensive damage and spreading to adjacent buildings on Saturday morning, according to the Egyptian state news website Al-Ahram. The fire, which took firefighters over five hours to extinguish and prompted an evacuation of nearby residential buildings, erupted just hours after the completion of filming for a Ramadan television series, Al-Ahram added.
Egypt has long dominated the Arab film industry and has been dubbed the “Hollywood on the Nile,” producing international stars like late actor Omar Sharif and late acclaimed director Youssef Chahine. Founded in 1944, Al-Ahram Studio has been a cornerstone of its film and television industry – housing three production stages, a screening room, and an editing suite across its 27,000 square meter campus.
