Eid never parted ways with the theatre throughout his life, having memorable roles in plays such as Parliament of Women (1983), Al-Zaeem (1993), Afroto (1999), Teatro Masr (2013), Badia's Yard (2016), and Bank Robbers (2022). He amassed a portfolio of over 120 films, 150 TV series, and 40 theatre plays.
