The Traveller (Egyptian Arabic: المسافر, romanized: El Mosafer) is a 2009 Egyptian film written and directed by Ahmed Maher. It stars Omar Sharif, Khaled El Nabawy, Basma and Cyrine Abdelnour.
The story takes place over three days in the life of Hassan, the octogenarian protagonist, played by Khaled El Nabawy as the young Hassan and Omar Sharif as the older Hassan. The three days of Hassan's life represent key events in modern Egyptian history: the first is the Nakba in 1948, the second is the 6 October War in 1973, and the third is 9/11 in 2001.[1]
