Ali El Sabaa is an emerging Egyptian actor who quickly rose to fame after rubbing shoulders with several prominent on- and off-camera stars. He is most commonly known for portraying Luka the dealer, in Tamer Mohsen’s remarkably successful Ramadan 2021 drama LOBAT NEWTON, in which he starred opposite Mona Zaki and Mohamed Mamdouh.

In terms of his cinematic performances, El Sabaa is known for appearing in NEW YEAR’S EVE, FARQ KHEBRA, and WHO WOULD BELIEVE IT?, which premiered in theaters after competing in the Horizons of Arab Cinema competition at the 45th Cairo International Film Festival.

Ali’s upcoming projects include the highly anticipated Ramadan 2025 drama ATHENA, in which he is set to play a pivotal role. The series also stars Riham Haggag, Sawsan Badr, Ahmed Magdy, and Selwa Mohamed Ali; is written by Mohamed Nayer; and directed by Yahya Ismail. He’s also starring in Raouf El Sayed’s NOGOUM EL SAHEL, in which he’s set to share the screen with Ahmed Dash, Mayan El Sayed, Ali Sobhi, and the rapper Felix.
