Nadia Karam, whose real name is Mani Sayed Ahmed Abdullah, is an Egyptian actress of Lebanese descent. She was born in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia before moving to Kuwait, where she launched her artistic career in 1996.

She became widely known among Gulf audiences for her role as “Maison” in the 2003 comedy series “Al-Hiyala,” alongside the late actors Abdulhussain Abdulredha and Khaled Al-Nafisi. She also participated in several prominent dramatic and comedic productions, including “Al-Shareeb Baza,” “Souq Al-Maqasif,” “Al-Khafi A’zam,” and “Ma’a Hissa Qalam,” leaving a notable presence in Gulf drama over the decades.
