Season 1 • Episode 30
LatestAs the truth about how Bahaa killed his brother is revealed to everyone, he is arrested and buried alive. Hend discovers that Saad has deceived everyone and sold his soul to the devil.
Set in a remote, cursed village in an ancient era, Kafr Delhab follows a doctor named Saad who arrives to find no children have been born for years — women miscarry, villagers are possessed by jinn, and all speak of a vengeful woman's spirit seeking retribution against the entire hamlet. Starring Youssef El Sherif, the series is a rare foray into horror-mystery for Egyptian drama, filmed on location in the haunting landscape of Siwa Oasis.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
El Sherif based the Jinn mythology on actual Egyptian folk beliefs around Qena and Luxor, consulting local sheikhs for authentic possession rituals.
The triple casting wasn't budgetary — El Sherif designed Saad/Shehab/Delhab as fractured aspects of Egyptian masculinity: the intellectual, the spiritual, and the primal.
