Episode description
Raya and Sakina endured the daily grind of poverty, personal tragedy and societal prejudice in early 20th century Egypt, only to be embroiled in a series of unspeakable crimes. Their names conjure up the same kind of horror and fascination in Egypt as Jack the Ripper in England, or Jeffrey Dahmer in the United States. But in hindsight, do the sisters deserve the same notoriety?
