In a lighthearted moment in the series Sohab El Ard (The Land Owners), Samir, played by Essam El Sakka, surprised his colleague Nasser, portrayed by Eyad Nassar, with a special gift from Egypt: the iconic Al Ahly club jersey.
 
Laughing, Nasser responded, “You think this will make me happy? It won’t even fit me. I’ll give it to Uncle Ibrahim!” But Samir insisted, “I swear no one else will wear it but you, Nasser.”
 
The punchline came quickly. Known for supporting Zamalek, Nasser fired back with a grin, “Come on, I’m a Zamalek fan!” turning the exchange into a playful joke between friends.
 
Even in the toughest times, Egyptians and Palestinians prove that their sense of humor never fades.
 
 
Sohab El Ard addresses the humanitarian situation of Gaza’s residents after the October 7 war.
 
 
The series stars Eyad Nassar as a Palestinian man desperately trying to save his nephew amid the horrors of bombardment, while Menna Shalaby portrays an Egyptian doctor who arrives with a rescue convoy. In the midst of destruction, bonds of love, hope, and conscience are formed, and a human love story emerges from the tragedy of war.
 
 
 
Sohab El Ard stars Eyad Nassar, Menna Shalaby, Kamel El Basha, Adam Bakri, Essam El Saqqa, Tara Abboud, Sara Youssef, Eyad Hourani, Diana Rahma, rising actor Yazan Eid, child actor Samir Mohamed, and several other artists and guest stars.
 
 
It is written by Ammar Sabry, with screenplay development and dialogue by Mohamed Hisham Abia, directed by Peter Mimi, and produced by United Studio.
