How Nara Studios Turned Emotion Into a Global CGI Language

When CairoScene first featured Nara Studios back in 2020, they were a tight-knit trio — three founders, Mohamed Tosson, Sherif Medhat, and Hady Elkholy, working out of Cairo, building CGI not just with technical skill, but with atmosphere, story, and emotion. They evoked moods, longing, tension.

Four years later, the scale has changed — but the vision hasn’t. Nara Studios now operates with a team of over 90 creatives, delivering more than 800 projects across 18 countries, and producing over 1,200 CGI visuals. Each one still carries that same emotional through line that first caught our attention.

A big part of that magic now happens inside a new Sheraton office, just minutes from Cairo International Airport. In a city that’s always building, it’s easy to miss what happens behind the scenes, but this new creative hub is where the sparks begin. It’s a quiet powerhouse, the kind of place where concept meets craft, and futures are visualized before they’re built.

Their Dubai office, meanwhile, brings them closer to key partners across the region, supporting a growing global footprint.

What makes Nara different is what they refuse to reduce: the role of story. Every still, every cinematic sequence, every 360° world they build — whether for real estate, fashion, film, or interior design — stays rooted in a simple belief: that visual work must resonate. It must move people, not just impress them.

That resonance is powered not just by intuition, but by innovation. Using cutting-edge technology, Nara crafts immersive worlds that provoke emotion, ignite imagination, and build meaningful connections between people and future ideas.
