Risālah 'ilā al-Wālī is a 1998 Egyptian comedy-fantasy film directed by Nader Galal and starring Adel Emam and Yousra. The story moves between the early 19th century and contemporary Cairo. In 1807, as British forces threaten the port town of Rashid (Rosetta), local notables select Harfoush to carry a plea for reinforcements to Egypt's wali, Muhammad Ali Pasha. On his way to Cairo, Harfoush encounters a sage who transports him two centuries forward to 1998. As a consequence, he navigates modern Cairo while trying to complete his original mission.
