Alabakera (2016)

"Alabakera" (The Geniuses) is the first and only edutainment TV Show of its kind in Egypt and the Middle East.

With a total of 25 seasons and more than 6300 participants: more than 300 schools, 60 universities, 90 families, and 60 groups of friends from all over Egypt have participated in the show. "Alabakera" has managed to raise over 780 million Egyptian Pounds (50 million USD) allocated by the National Bank of Egypt to renovate public schools, support Olympic athletes, renovate small towns and help entrepreneurs in Egypt. Created and hosted by the prominent Egyptian novelist Essam Youssef, "Alabakera" is broadcast Thursday through Saturday at 6:00pm (GMT+2) on "Al Kahera Wal Nas" (Cairo Centric) TV Channel.
