The Egyptian artist, Ibrahim Farah, died in a hospital in Cairo, at the age of 68 years.
The Egyptian Middle East News Agency quoted Sarah Nagla Ibrahim Farah as saying that "her father died after his health deteriorated during the past hours."
The late actor recently suffered from some health problems that required him to stay in intensive care for a while.
The artist participated in a number of dramas, and presented distinctive roles in it, among them: “Khawaja Abdul Qadir”, “Sheikh Al-Arab Hammam”, “Al-Reha’i”, “Grand Hotel” and “Afrah Al-Qobba”.
The late artist, with roots in Aswan, in the southernmost part of Egypt, was also famous for his smile, which he kept even when he was in the period of the last illness, in which several locations transmitted his pictures, smiling with optimism on the hospital's white bed.
The late, who used to describe himself as an Egyptian with Sudanese blood, recounted that he was beginning early, as he woke up to the dawn prayer and enjoyed his breeze and the birds singing, adding in a YouTube recording to “Sudanese 24”: “I adore the dawn smile on any face that meets him ... The most difficult thing you need to meet with me is in the morning, I am not smiling. Then he reads in the book of God and reviews some papers related to the work, and looks at the roles and what is required of him to live with them.
He then added that he guides his smiles to his daughters who accept his hand “This is a habit we took from our grandparents and our parents”, pointing out that he is keen to deliver his daughters on their way to university or school to the door of the apartment and calls them to safety so that everyone starts the new day with a smile.
