Directed by prolific filmmaker Fatin Abdel Wahab and starring golden-age stars Omar Sharif and Soad Hosny, the film is an incredibly entertaining feel-good watch with stellar performances, great pacing, and a whole lot of comedy. Let\u2019s dive in. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The plot:<\/strong> Abdel Qader (Youssef Wahbi) is a seasoned businessman who likes to play around; he doesn\u2019t quite get along with his wife Baheega (Ehsan Sherif), skips work to go on dates and late-night benders, and gets his nephew Mahrous (Abdel Moneim Ibrahim) to cover for him. His other nephew, Hussein (Omar Sherif), is his polar opposite: respectable, put-together, and uptight with a work ethic that doesn\u2019t budge. Hussein has one fatal flaw though: he is brutally (often rudely) honest and seemingly possesses no social filter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>His weakness? His cousin Sameha (Soad Hosny)<\/strong>, who\u2019s just coming home to Port Said after spending years in Cairo. Hussein is absolutely head over heels, and Abdel Qader supports the match, promising his nephew to get them married. There\u2019s just one problem: Sameha brought a suitor home \u2014 her rich, spoiled, and (according to Abdel Qader) effeminate maternal cousin, whom her mother seems dead-set on pairing her with. Thus begins a war to woo her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Abdel Qader concocts a plan to turn Hussein from the uptight employee to the playboy womanizer<\/strong> in an effort to gain Sameha\u2019s attention, who seems inclined toward daring, confident men. The hot gossip? That Hussein has an affair with a celebrated actress (Hend Rostom). While obviously untrue, the rumor keeps on growing, with the truth looming not too far ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Despite Hosny\u2019s stellar performance, this was the Omar Sharif show. <\/strong>The late Egyptian actor delivered one of his best showings in Esha3et 7ob, skillfully portraying both the real awkward, yearning Hussein, and later the nonchalant serial lover. The chemistry between Hosny and Sharif is palpable, and the film\u2019s comedic bits are perfectly timed \u2014 thanks in no small part to Wahbi\u2019s naturally charismatic personality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If you\u2019ve been craving a movie night that will make you forget all about your phone (and everything else) for 90 minutes, there\u2019s no better pick than this one.<\/strong> Esha3et 7ob is emblematic of the best that the golden age of Egyptian cinema had to offer \u2014 from setting to soundtrack and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO WATCH- <\/strong>Esha3et 7ob is streaming on <a target=\"_blank\"

In the unusually chilly weather of a late night in March, we took our seats under the warm, moody lighting of the boutique rooftop and settled in for a suhoor that was nothing short of exceptional.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Mazeej kept it simple and opted for a set menu, with all the staples covered.<\/strong> Their suhoor was an assortment of dips \u2014 alongside a basket of fresh baladi, shami, and focaccia breads \u2014 featuring ful tahini, your choice of eggs, ful-filled taameya, white cheese with vegetables, and hummus. Spring feta salad, Alexandrian sujouk potato pie, crispy potatoes, and roumi & mixed cheese feteer balls were also part of the traditional Egyptian spread.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We made our choices for the eggs, ordered some tea, munched on the delectable olive tapenade starter<\/strong>, and waited for our order to make its way to our table. And then we waited some more \u2014 until over an hour had passed and the cold was starting to bite. When the dishes finally started gradually landing at our table, we were relieved. No sooner had we taken our first bite than we realized it was worth the long wait.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The classic Egyptian suhoor spread, perfected to a T.<\/strong> You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing in a tried-and-true suhoor until you taste a flawless one \u2014 like Mazeej\u2019s. We couldn\u2019t find a single gripe with the food; it was 10s across the board. That said, there were standouts: the cheese balls were mouth-watering \u2014 just the right amount of cheesy and elevated by a drizzle of sweet sauce. The spring feta salad was as fresh and tasty as can be, and the Alexandrian sujouk potato pie was a succulent addition to the spread.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we felt full, with plenty left over.<\/strong> We walked away with satisfied taste buds, full stomachs, and a rooftop view that was a visual feast to remember.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO FIND-<\/strong> You can find Mazeej Balad at 11 Mahmoud Bassiouny, Downtown Cairo.
