Fire breaks out in one of the oldest film studios in Egypt. Studio was built in 1944 and housed three film sets, a projection room and an editing room.
Three quarters of Arab film production is made in Egypt, but number will fall to just 21 in 2022. The studio was destroyed in the middle of Ramadan, which sees the highest viewing figures in Egypt and the Arab world.
