editor and she flies to Cairo, Egypt to meet up with her husband so
they can spend a much needed three week holiday together. When he is
unavoidably delayed, he arranges for his reliable friend Tareq
Khalifa (Alexander Siddig) to meet her instead.

the sights, sounds and unique customs of the exotic city. Quite
unexpectedly he gradually feels attracted to Juliette his aroused
emotions take Juliette by surprise.
