The Al-Ahram film studio in Egypt was consumed by fire.
The Al-Ahram studio in Egypt was established in 1944, with several films and TV series produced there and broadcast around the world.
It took hours for the firefighters to contain the blaze, and several buildings adjacent to the studio in the Giza neighborhood of Cairo were evacuated.
Emergency services treated people at the scene for smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
This studio contains three production stages, a screening room, and an editing room.
Mostafa Madbouly, the Prime Minister of Egypt, visited the site along with other officials to assess the damage.
According to local media reports, the fire broke out 24 hours after Al-Ahram completed filming a Ramadan TV series.
Agence France-Presse reported that residents of the surrounding buildings had not yet returned to their homes by Saturday morning. The fire damaged the facades of seven buildings.
Arab News, citing a statement from the Egyptian Prime Minister’s office, reported that affected families would receive compensation.
