Trivia
A few days before the shooting in Egypt for Le Caire Confidentiel (2017) was supposed to take place, director Tarik Saleh was publicly removed from the country and told not to come back. As a result, that movie was shot in Casablanca, Morocco. As he's still persona non grata in Egypt, he couldn't shoot La conspiration du Caire (2022) there, thus despite being set in Cairo, the film was actually shot in Istanbul, Turkey, mostly in the Süleymanye mosque.

Cairo, the city of enigma

This movie is a picture of the state's entanglement in religious strata. For sure it isn't present only in ranks of Islam, but also in the other religions and media usually shows the other picture to the masses, but hide the truth. Here we see the fanatical corners of Islam and how an innocent person, in thoughts that he is giving a help and support for a good matter, falls too deep into something about which he has no idea, cause he learned something else. However, you can see a good filmmaking with all those obstacles and traps one thriller should have followed with amazing cast, where the actor(Barhom) of the main protagonist gives us a big enigma at the end.
