Omar Sharif was truly an international treasure, the likes of which we shall never see again. He was enchanting in both mannerisms and in his voice, and hearing him narrate the luxurious IMAX documentary MYSTERIES OF EGYPT (1998) made me want to hear him narrate every thing…

TV Guide Magazine
A very elegant and fit-looking Omar Sharif appears as the on-screen narrator and Kate Maberly (The Secret Garden) plays his granddaughter in a framing story.
