About Aroma Studios

Aroma Studios is an Egyptian film and television production company providing original content production and international production services. Its work spans scripted television, feature films, commercial productions and regional distribution. With operating bases in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, the company supports productions working across Egypt and the wider Middle East.

The business began as a post-production, broadcast design and visual effects facility before expanding into full narrative production in 2014. Its first major television production was The Hunter, followed by a slate of regional drama series and films. In 2026, its historical visual effects, color grading and editorial operations became the separately operated sister studio AO3 Studios, while Aroma concentrated on content development, co-production and physical production services.

Original content and production partnerships

Aroma's production portfolio includes the anthology Ela Ana, Return to Love, A Husband's Diary, Soot w Soora and the two-season fantasy series A Thousand and One Nights: Gawdar. Its feature work includes the musical film Sukkar, co-produced with MBC Studios. The company has worked with broadcasters and streaming platforms including Watch It, Shahid, MBC Group, DMC and CBC.

In 2026, Aroma served as the primary Egyptian production partner and executive producer for High Value Target: The Hunt for Saddam, a TNT and Warner Bros. Discovery limited series starring Joel Kinnaman. This project extended its international production services work alongside its regional content slate.

Production services

For international and regional producers, Aroma coordinates line production, location scouting, government filming permissions, script clearances and local logistics. Its production support includes bilingual technical crews, department heads, casting, background talent, fixers and on-set translators.

The company also arranges camera, grip and lighting equipment, transport, generators, soundstages and custom set builds. Its co-production services encompass regional financing arrangements, distribution partnerships and local production incentive advice. Distribution and licensing work connects productions with streaming platforms and broadcasters serving audiences across the MENA region.
