One of Egypt’s best-selling novelists, Ahmed has also stamped himself on the local filmmaking industry as one of its most successful screenwriters. His adaptations of his novel THE BLUE ELEPHANT (2014) and its subsequent sequel (2019) both scored handsomely at the box office.
KIRA & El GIN, the 2022 war epic that he co-wrote, is the highest grossing local film in Egyptian cinema history.
