Our Story

Built for Arab talent,
by someone who looked for it.

CastArab was born from a real problem — the frustrating, fragmented process of finding verified Arab actors for professional productions.

The Problem

A director who spent years
searching the hard way.

After more than 15 years directing film and television across the Arab world, Kareem El-Adl had a frustration he couldn't shake: there was no reliable, professional platform to find Arab acting talent.

Every casting call meant phone calls, WhatsApp groups, word of mouth, middlemen, and weeks of uncertainty. No profiles. No verification. No filters. Just chaos.

On the other side, thousands of talented actors — many of them trained, dedicated, and ready — had no visible place to exist professionally. No platform built specifically for them.

CastArab is the answer to both sides of that problem.

What We Stand For

Three principles that guide
every decision.

Trust, identity, and fairness — not features, but foundations.

Trust First
Every actor and director on CastArab is manually verified. No anonymous accounts, no fake profiles. Trust is the product.
Arab by Design
Built specifically for Arabic dialects, Arab nationalities, and Arab production culture. Not adapted from somewhere else — built here, for here.
Privacy Protected
Actors choose who can contact them and how. Directors cannot be contacted by actors. Everyone is protected within a fair, structured system.

"I built the platform I always needed. Not as a tech entrepreneur — as a director who was tired of looking for talent in all the wrong places."
