Kingdom of Gypsies (Arabic: مملكة الغجر) is an Egyptian television serial. It debuted during Ramadan on May 6, 2019, and lasted for 30 episodes. The series stars former Miss Egypt, Horeya Farghaly, and actress/dancer Fifi Abdou.[1] The cast also includes Abdou's real-life daughter Azza Mujahid.
The series was subject to censorship from the government of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Kingdom of Gypsies was cited for breaking Egyptian censorship rules 105 times. The series was accused of including prohibited content such as the use of English words, depictions of violence and sexual innuendo.[2]
The original name of the drama was Yasmina, but the production team changed it to Yasmina and the Queen of the Gypsies. The title was then changed to Kingdom of the Gypsies.
