The Arabic version (Monataf Khater, منعطف خطر) changes location from rainy and gloomy Copenhagen to sunny Cairo in Egypt, where the series is also filmed. The show is believed to be the first Nordic Noir drama to be remade in the region.

It is being produced by Charisma Pictures, the scripted productions division of Charisma Group, which acquired the adaption rights from DR Sales, the distribution arm of Danish pubcaster DR. The series is written by Mohamed El Masry, and directed by Sadeer Al Massoud (Qaid Majhol), with Hossam Habbib attached as director of photography.
