Ruba Nadda

For thirty years, I stood behind the camera.
Now I’m stepping into the story.

I’m Ruba Nadda, an award-winning writer and director whose films include Cairo Time, Sabah and October Gale. I tell stories about women, cities, longing and the quiet spaces between people.

Ruba Cinema is where all of those worlds now meet: films, a novel, two evolving brands—and a woman building her next adventure in real time.

I write. I direct.
Now I step into the story.
