Ahmed's funeral was scheduled to take place on the day of the announcement of his death, Sunday, but his brother announced a delay due to the 'health conditions' of his father, the well-known Egyptian writer Mohamed Galal Abdelkawi, and 'the arrival of the rest of the relatives from abroad'.

The late actor began his short artistic career at about the age of 13, when he participated in the series 'Hayat Al-Gohary' in 1997, starring the artist Yousra. He later participated in the two famous Egyptian series: 'Hadith Al-Sabah wa Al-Masaa' in 2001, and 'Al-Layl wa Akharoh' in 2003.

He achieved great fame when he played the role of 'Ahmed,' son of 'Abdelhamid Daraz,' whose character was portrayed by the late artist Nour El-Sherif, in the famous series 'Hadrat Al-Muttaham Abi' in 2005.
