Shaimaa captioned the post with a single word that encapsulated her feelings: "Mecca, the city."

Her followers and colleagues in the artistic community responded widely to her photos, wishing her an accepted Umrah and lasting happiness and peace of mind.

Shaimaa Seif’s most recent artistic appearance was in the TV series “Esh Esh” during Ramadan 2025, alongside Mai Omar, Magdy El-Masry, and Hala Sedki, written and directed by Mohamed Sami.

A Dramatic Side Behind the Comedy In a previous interview, Shaimaa revealed that her real-life personality leans toward drama, despite her fame in comedic roles.

Her Personal Life In a personal statement, Shaimaa Seif announced her separation from her husband, production manager Mohamed Carter, after a marriage that lasted about seven years, emphasizing that the split occurred quietly without media fuss.
