He previously competed at the highest level at the 2012 Six-red World Championship where he pushed eventual tournament winner Mark Davis to a deciding frame.[3][4]

In October 2018 Ibrahim withdrew his tour card, having not entered a single match during the season.[5]

He won the 2022 African Snooker Championship in Casablanca, Morocco in July 2022.[6][7] He secured his first win back on tour defeating Julien Leclercq in UK Championship qualifying in November 2022. He has also become the first Egyptian player to make a professional century, and won a second match to qualify for the Welsh Open.
