Mayan El-Sayed is a rising star whose exceptional talent placed her name among key directors and stars' most sought-after young actresses, as evidenced by her memorable roles during the last two years.
During Ramadan 2021, she had a remarkable presence in three TV hits - HAJMATAN MURTADA (Counterattack) by director Ahmad Alaa Aldeeb, starring Ahmed Ezz and Hend Sabry; LE'BET NEWTON (Newton's Cradle) by Tamer Mohsen and starring Mona Zaki; and HARB AHLIYA (Civil War) by director Sameh Abd El-Aziz, starring Yousra. She also starred in the film ALMAHKAMA (The Court) by director Mohamed Amin alongside Mahmoud Abdel Moghny.
In 2022, she played the role of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi's daughter in the popular TV series AL EKHTEYAR 3: AL QARAR (The Choice 3: The Decision). She was also the leading actress in THE DREAM OF MY LIFE story within the series ELLA ANA.
Mayan has always had a flair for acting. At 16, she made it into many auditions, through which she starred in two series screened during Ramadan in 2016 - ABU AL-BANAT starring Mostafa Shaban, and AL-MOGHANY starring Mohamed Mounir.
Privileged by starring alongside A-list stars in her earliest appearances, Mayan quickly gained the confidence that got her more significant roles later on, as she starred in the first season of EL AB EL ROHI (The Godfather) by Peter Mimi, followed by a role alongside Yasser Galal in ZEL EL RAEES (The President's Shadow) that had a huge success during its premiere on TV in 2017.
Mayan made her first cinematic appearance in the box-office hit HARB KARMOOZ in 2018 starring opposite Amir Karara. Despite playing a small role, Mayan presented a remarkable performance in the opening scene of the film, which played a crucial role in the unfolding of its events. Before that, the late director Hatem Ali chose her for her astounding performance in ZEL EL RAEES to take part in his TV series KAENO EMBAREH, which was a big hit despite being premiered off the Ramadan season. The series fans showed a strong connection through their comments on social media platforms on Mayan's role.
Afterward, Mayan presented a variety of roles within big-budget and successful productions, including MBC's comedy series FEKRA B'MILLION GENEH and Viu's first Arabic original, the horror series ZODIAC, followed by her starring role in the film BANAT SANAWY in 2020.
For her memorable roles in the three TV hits aired during Ramadan 2021, Mayan received the Dear Guest Award for Best Young Actress. She was also part of the closing song for the fifth edition of the El-Gouna Film Festival. Moreover, she became the new brand ambassador of Molped and Samsung. Additionally, she was in a stunning photo shoot for Elle Arabia magazine.
Recently, Mayan finished shooting two films - FEW HOURS IN ONE DAY, which is based on Mohamed Sadek's novel of the same title and produced by El-Sobky Productions; and the romantic film named #GAWWEZNI alongside Amir El-Masry, which was directed by Essam Nassar and written by Mohamed Samir Mabrouk.
In the 2023 Ramadan season, she starred alongside Yousra in 1000 HAMDELLAH A'LA EL SALAMA, which was written by Mahmoud Zulfikar and directed by Amr Salah.
Furthermore, she will soon be starring in ALF LEILA WE LEILA as the character Gawaher alongside Yasser Galal and Nour. The series is written by Anwar Abdel-Mogith and directed by Hossam Ali.
Mayan graduated with a major in theater and film from the American University in Cairo (AUC) with her own graduation project, in which she embodied the leading role as Antigone - one of the heroines of ancient Greek mythology - in which she tried to ensure that her performance is balanced between drama and comedy.
