Early Life & Education

Ahmed Zaher, whose full name is Ahmed Samir Zaher, was born on April 27, 1975, in Cairo, Egypt.

Of Egyptian Arab ethnicity and Muslim faith, he grew up in a family where his father encouraged him to pursue a career in medicine, leading Zaher to study literature in high school as a way to avoid that path.

His parents’ names are Mr. and Mrs. Samir Zaher, but their occupations, as well as information on any siblings, are not publicly documented.

For his education, Zaher initially enrolled in the Faculty of Commerce to appease his parents, who were initially unsupportive of his passion for acting, but he dropped out after one to three years.

He then pursued his true interest by joining the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts (also known as the Institute of Performing Arts), where he earned a bachelor’s degree.

Zaher developed a strong obsession with acting during his school years, participating in school plays to build confidence and dreaming of performing alongside his favourite stars.

This passion led to his first small role in the 1992 TV series Wolves of the Mountain, while he was still in secondary school, marking the beginning of his acting career.

On television, Zaher has become a familiar face in Ramadan drama series, delivering standout performances in The Prince (2020), The Choice (2020), and Al Maddah (2021–2024). His ability to embody complex characters has made him a household name with audiences across the Arab world.

Beyond screen roles, Zaher has also appeared on stage, most notably in the play Keda Okay during the early 2000s. He briefly explored music in 2009, recording two songs, though acting has remained his primary passion.
