He gained prominence as an actor with his role as Haitham Dabour in the TV series Tamer Wa Shaw’eyyah (2006–2008) and his first leading film role in H-Dabbour (2008).

His breakthrough came with the Ramadan comedy series El Kabeer Awy (2010–present), where he plays multiple roles, including two brothers (and later a third) vying for their father’s inheritance, earning widespread acclaim for his comedic versatility. Mekky collaborated with his sister Enas on projects like Crucial Moments and Tamer Wa Shaw’eyyah.

As a director, he helmed films like You Fly (2009) and No Retreat, No Surrender (2010). His rap career includes successful tracks like Masr Baldy (2010), Wa’fet Nasyt Zaman (2017), and albums Asloh Araby and Asloh 3araby, often performed in films or shared online.

His work spans over 200 TV episodes, multiple films, and music releases, making him a cultural icon in Egypt. Recent projects include El Kabeer Awy’s ongoing seasons and Hazaloom (film, year unspecified).
