In the early twentieth century, when Great Britain occupied Egypt, thousands of British explorers made their way to the Arab country in search of gold and other treasures buried by the pharaohs millennium ago.

William Bettencourt and his wife, Anna, are two such explorers who left their comfortable lives in London to explore the Egyptian desert. When their friend, Haji, tells them about the ancient city of Hisyut and the treasures that lie undisturbed, William and Anna begin a grueling trek through the desert with just a map drawn by Haji's brother many years ago. They aren't aware of the dangers of the Egyptian desert, notably King Mahmoud, who rules over a vast area of land untouched by the British.

When William and Anna stumble into his kingdom, he takes them hostage and demands ransom from the British government. But little does King Mahmood know, his daughter, Metimeh, will become his biggest enemy when she falls in love with the British hostages.
