The once-grand Yacoubian Building is home to an eclectic group of residents: decadent Zaki Bey, an aging aristocrat clinging to past glories; ambitious Busayna, penniless but determined to support her family; soulful Taha, an impressionable youth seduced by extremism. Their stories, and others, interweave in a sweeping tale of love, betrayal, and resilience in the face of corruption.

A joyful celebration of Arab culture, The Yacoubian Building takes us on a theatrical journey to the soul of an Egypt on the brink of transformation.
