Atlas Film Fixers recently had the exciting opportunity to work on TLC’s popular reality series 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, which took us on a 90-day journey through the breathtaking landscapes, bustling streets, and culturally rich locations of Egypt. Bringing this show to life in such a historic and iconic location was both an exhilarating and complex process, requiring expert logistical planning, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of local filming regulations. Here’s a look behind the scenes at how we helped make it all happen.
Navigating the Filming Landscape in Egypt
Egypt offers a unique backdrop for productions, with its dramatic deserts, majestic Nile River, and historic monuments that captivate audiences around the world. However, filming in Egypt also brings its own set of challenges due to regulatory requirements, permitting processes, and the need to work closely with local authorities and communities.
Our team at Atlas Film Fixers handled all the necessary permits and worked to streamline logistics, ensuring the production could run smoothly and without interruption. Filming with a cast and crew for an extended period—90 days—meant securing multiple permits across various locations and working closely with local officials to ensure our filming adhered to Egypt’s guidelines.
Cultural Expertise and Local Connections
Egypt has a rich cultural heritage, and Atlas Film Fixers is committed to portraying this with respect and authenticity. For 90 Day Fiancé, our team guided the production crew through Egypt’s cultural nuances and customs, helping to bridge any cultural gaps and ensure an experience that was positive for both the cast and local communities. Our well-established network of local contacts allowed us to manage relationships smoothly and respond to any last-minute challenges quickly.
Keeping Production Costs on Track
Producing a reality series like 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way in a foreign country can be costly. With our knowledge of regional incentives and local vendor networks, we ensured that production expenses were kept on track while maintaining high production quality. This is one of the unique advantages of working with Atlas Film Fixers—we’re experts in maximizing production budgets in international locations.

Being part of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way in Egypt was a rewarding experience, both for our team and for the audience who will see this stunning region come to life on screen.
