This concise masterpiece began as a commission by French TV for the news series Envoyé spécial. By filming Cairo with his unique sense of artistic digression, Chahine transformed this portrait of a city into the self-portrait of a filmmaker.

Set in 1987 against the backdrop of a hunger strike by the Egyptian film industry, Chahine himself steps in to play Yehia, the famed Egyptian director whose life is chronicled in "Alexandria, Why?" and "An Egyptian Story". Obsessed with Amr, the handsome actor he discovered and cast as his alter-ego in parts one and two of The Alexandria Trilogy, Yehia pressures Amr to star in various film projects that change even as Yehia's perception of the young actor begins to change. He first casts Amr as Hamlet, which the actor deems too demanding for his talents, then as the lead in a musical biopic of demigod Alexander the Great, who founded the city of Alexandria in 332 B.C.

Герои фильма - советские и египетские рабочие, инженеры и техники, которые, как и их прототипы, плечом к плечу трудятся, вместе переживая горечь неудач и радость побед. Съемки велись в Александрии, Каире и Асуане. Большую помощь оказали советские люди, работающие в Объединенной Арабской Республике, особенно специалисты в Асуане. Многие рабочие и инженеры охотно снимались в массовых сценах и даже играли эпизодические роли. Постановку осуществил известный арабский режиссер Юсеф Шахин ("Борьба в долине", "Люди в порту", "Железные ворота", "Заря нового дня" и др.).

Экранизация книги Ю. Ас-Сабаи. Масштабное полотно, освещающее борьбу вокруг Святого Города Иерусалима в XII веке, во время Третьего крестового похода (1189—1192 г.г), с позиций идеологии ислама и панарабизма. Знаменитый султан Салахуддин показан как идеальный правитель, а его воины – смелые и благородные люди, в то время, как крестоносцы – слабые духом, корыстолюбивые сластолюбцы, коварные авантюристы нарушающие договорённости. Третий крестовый поход изображается как нашествие алчных завоевателей (что близко к реальности), а их победы исключительно многочисленностью и изменой отщепенцев, подкупленных христианами. Впрочем, Ричард Львиное Сердце, предводитель неверных, обрисован вполне с положительной стороны, хотя у него нет сторонников, даже его лучший друг предал его.
