Amira Ghazalla was born in Cairo and left Egypt to study acting abroad in then West Germany. This led to several years of performing on large German stages, including Schauspielhaus Hamburg under director Peter Zadek and Schauspielhaus Frankfurt with director and dramatist Einar Schleef.

Following her success on the stage, Amira began to explore TV and Film opportunities, most notably a support lead in German feature ZISCHKE, THE PARTY: NATURE MORTE opposite Tilda Swinton and Egyptian feature SUMMER THEFTS. Amira continued to study her craft with The International School for Theatre Anthropology, led by Italian director Eugenio Barba.

Amira moved to London and booked a vivid role on season one of HBO hit GAME OF THRONES. Soon after followed the independent feature MY BROTHER THE DEVIL, directed by Sally El Hosaini, which won awards at several festivals including Sundance, London Film Festival, BIFA and Berlinale.

Amira began carving out a career across big budget features and independent cinema alike, including STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII - THE LAST JEDI, directed by Rian Johnson, THE FLOOD opposite Lena Headey and THE RHYTHM SECTION, directed by Reed Moreno for Paramount Pictures.

On television, Amira recently shot a recurring role in the upcoming season of CARNIVAL ROW for Amazon and can be seen opposite Julia Stiles in RIVIERA for Sky Atlantic. Amira also played a central role in the SENSE8 finale directed by Lana Wachowski for Netflix. Other television credits include recurring roles in 4BLOCKS (TNT), HATTON GARDEN (ITV), TYRANT (Fox), THE LAST POST (BBC), with guest roles on VERA (ITV), NO OFFENCE (Channel 4) and Hugo Blick's THE HONOURABLE WOMAN (BBC).
