Ahmad Rateb
An Egyptian actor, born in the Sayyida Zeinab district of Cairo in 1949. He began acting while still a student.

He appeared in dozens of films in supporting roles starting in the 1970s, including *Wahda bi-Wahda* (Tit for Tat), *Al-Irhab wal-Kabab* (Terrorism
and Kebab), and *Bakhit wa Adila*. He also distinguished himself in television series such as *Al-Seera Al-Hilaliyya* and *Hind wa al-Doctor No'man*. He worked with Adel Emam in the play *Al-Zaeem* (The Leader).
