“Beyond Borders, El-Mahalla Castor Lives On.” With this phrase, acclaimed TV host Esaad Younes revived the glorious memory of the October Victory, announcing through her official Instagram account a special episode of her show Sahebat Al-Saada marking 52 years since the triumph.
The story goes back to a historic decision by the late Egyptian President Anwar El-Sadat after Egypt’s victory in the 1973 War. During the prisoner exchange process, Israeli soldiers were dressed in El-Mahalla Castor pajamas, proudly made by Egypt’s Misr Spinning and Weaving Company—a symbolic gesture that immortalized the strength of Egyptian industry as a witness to one of the nation’s finest hours.
Esaad Younes appeared in the promotional poster for the episode wearing the iconic El-Mahalla Castor pajama, writing: “Beyond borders, El-Mahalla Castor lives on,” reviving the legacy of a timeless national emblem woven into Egypt’s history of pride and victory.
