Alexander Siddig is in the middle of filming his latest project, Cairo Time.

As reported by Sid City, Siddig is in Cairo, Egypt, where filming on Cairo Time, directed by Ruba Nadda, is taking place.

Siddig is co-starring with Patricia Clarkson (Far From Heaven). Clarkson plays a woman who arrives in Cairo to meet her husband (played by Tom McManus) who is delayed in Gaza. The husband has sent his friend, a retired Egyptian police officer, played by Siddig, to pick her up. A love affair occurs between the woman and the police officer played by Siddig.

In addition to working on the movie, Siddig will be appearing at several conventions in the next few months. He will appear on either July 19th or 20th at the London Film & Comic Con. In August, Siddig will tentatively appear at Creation Convention in Las Vegas, where his appearance will benefit the "Doctors Without Borders" charity.
