Ahmad Al Morsy’s most recent activities include a master class entitled: “Visual Storytelling and Adapting to Changing Conditions” as part of the CineGouna Bridge, held within the 4th El Gouna Film Festival which was a full house with massive success

His promotional video “Same Great Feelings” was projected during the press conference ahead of the El Gouna Film Festival to highlight the precautionary measures that have been taken across Egypt in general, and in El Gouna in specific.

The promotional video is to encourage the worried tourists, festival-goers and guests to revisit the country and be part of the fourth edition of the festival.

In two minutes time, the video showcases the strict health measures implemented in Egypt in the light of the COVID-19 crisis, featuring the country’s most attractive touristic spots through the return of two faithful tourists after the country’s decision to reboot tourism.
