Ahmed El Sakka: Ramadan's biggest star and Ramz Jalal's prank show that brought Saudi and Egyptian audiences together
Hey everyone, if you've been scrolling through social media lately, you'll have noticed that Ahmed El Sakka's name is absolutely everywhere. The guy's not just an action movie star anymore; he's become a full-blown Ramadan phenomenon. Every time I see him in something new, it takes me back to classics like "El Suleimani" and "El Gezeira," but the El Sakka of 2026 is different—sharper, more strategic, and he knows exactly how to captivate audiences from the Gulf to the Atlantic.
El Sakka's big return to Ramadan drama with Yara El Sakri
Anyone who's caught his new series this year will agree he's back and better than ever. The show, where he stars alongside Yara El Sakri, is packed with just the right mix of suspense and entertainment, leaving you genuinely hanging out for the next episode. El Sakka's decided to mix things up this year, opting for a gripping social drama that steps away from pure action, while still bringing all his trademark intensity and screen presence. Honestly, the scenes between him and Yara El Sakri have a special kind of chemistry; it's hard to look away. No surprise then that the show has been trending in both Saudi Arabia and Egypt since day one.
Ramz Jalal shocks everyone... A famous Saudi footballer falls victim!
But the real talking point from last night was the new episode of Ramz Jalal's infamous prank show. Everyone was expecting an Egyptian celeb to be the victim, but Ramz pulled a fast one on us and brought out the big guns... a well-known Saudi footballer! The episode was absolute fire. The poor guy walked right into the trap in a way that was both hilarious and cringe-worthy. With his usual cunning, Ramz invited him on, claiming it was to check out the latest in sports training tech, and then—boom—all hell broke loose and the player was flying through the air.
The Saudi audience reacted like crazy, with hashtags blowing up on X (formerly Twitter). But to top it all off, Ahmed El Sakka made a surprise guest appearance! He suddenly appeared on a massive screen and started giving the dangling footballer some cheeky advice. He said, "Mate, this is the best way to learn balance!" The natural and hilarious banter between El Sakka and the player was pure gold, proving that when Arab entertainment stars from different countries team up, the result is next-level awesome.
What's coming up in the next episodes?
- Ahmed El Sakka is tipped for another standout appearance in an upcoming episode—reckon he'll be the main victim next? (We can only hope!)
- Yara El Sakri mentioned in a recent interview that she's had an offer to star in the next Riyadh Season with El Sakka. Definitely one to watch this space for.
- The Saudi footballer victim has refused to reveal his identity since the show, but eagle-eyed viewers think they've figured him out from his accent and laugh!
Honestly, Ahmed El Sakka this year isn't just an actor; he's a one-man entertainment machine. Between his Ramadan drama, the prank shows, and the love he gets from Gulf audiences, he's killing it. Here's hoping our favourite star keeps bringing us quality content that makes us proud and brings the whole Arab world together over some fun, meaningful entertainment. And stay tuned—we'll have special coverage if El Sakka himself ends up as Ramz's victim next week!
