Unfortunately, there are a few Arabic historical TV shows or films that don't have mistakes. Egypt Today listed some of the fatal historical discrepancies in the Arabic cinema.Directed by the legendary Youssif Shahin, "Al Nasser Salah El Din" is one of the greatest films in the history of the Arabic cinema.Despite its treasured position, the film is full of fatal historical mistakes, according to prominent author Bassam El Shamaa. "Eissa El Awam’s character, which was played by Salah Zulfakar, was not a Christian one; he was Muslim," El Shamaa explained in lectures and TV interviews. "The queen called Virginia, the most beautiful queen ever, who was played by Leila Fawzy was a myth," El Shamaa added.
