The film begins with a group of university students struggling to create an interesting history project about Jawhar. While researching, they discover an old map of al-Qahira, which mysteriously brings Jawhar himself into the present day. Through conversations with the students, Jawhar explains why Cairo was founded in 969 CE and how it was carefully planned to become the capital of the Fatimid state. As the story unfolds, the students learn that Cairo was more than just a city; it was a political, cultural, and religious symbol. The film also highlights the importance of Al-Azhar and the lasting impact of Fatimid urban planning. By combining historical facts, humor, drama, and dialogue, the project transforms a historical event into an engaging and memorable cinematic experience.
