An Egyptian Salad, is a 2007 Egyptian movie, directed by Nadia Kamel, and starring Nadia Kamel, Mary Kamel, Saad Kamel. with a runtime of 107 minutes.
An Egyptian Salad is an intimate documentary by Egyptian filmmaker Nadia Kamal that uses the art of storytelling as both subject and method. Sitting with her grandmother Mary, Kamal and the young Nabeel listen as family stories spanning a hundred years of Egyptian history are recounted — histories that weave together personal memory, political upheaval, and social change. Set against a backdrop of rising religious and nationalist extremism in Egyptian society, the film raises urgent questions about how communities preserve their identity, culture, and values across generations. Through the simple but profound act of a grandmother telling stories, An Egyptian Salad becomes a meditation on memory, heritage, and the power of oral history to resist erasure.
