Kafr Delhap
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.
