Death
Al Aqqad died in the early morning of March 13, 1964. His corpse was transported by train to his hometown Aswan in southern Upper Egypt, where it was buried the same day.
In the early 1980s, an Egyptian television series was produced about the life of al-Aqqad, which was titled The Giant (Al Imlaq in Arabic). It starred the late Egyptian actor Mahmud Mursi.
