The stories of the past, retold with the voice of a new generation.

Hakawy El Qahawy is a 15-episode revival of the beloved 1990s Egyptian talk show originally hosted by Samia Al-Atribi. The new version, directed by Yasser Ashour, is led by her daughter, Rasha Al-Gammal, who returns to the same café-style setting to recall her mother’s legacy and spark new conversations.

Bridging eras, the show preserves the essence of the original while bringing in a more reflective, contemporary tone. It honors the cultural value of storytelling over coffee and gives voice to topics both nostalgic and timely.
