Club career

Al-Faisaly

On 16 December 2023, Abu Dahab renewed his contract with Al-Faisaly until the end of the 2027 season.
On 26 May 2024, Abu Dahab contributed with a goal for Al-Faisaly, in a 6–2 victory over Shabab Al-Ordon during the 2023–24 Jordanian Pro League season. He was recognized as a standout defender for Al-Faisaly that season, which caught the eye of the new national team manager Jamal Sellami to call him up to the senior team.
On 24 July, Al-Faisaly announced that they renewed Abu Dahab's contract until the end of the 2028 season, as well as for the intent on loaning him out to Kuwait Premier League club Al-Salmiya for the upcoming season. However, on 20 September 2025, Abu Dahab returned to Amman due to Al-Salmiya not being able to register any player to their club.

International career

Abu Dahab's first international match with the Jordan national team was against North Korea in a friendly on 29 August 2024. His first competitive match was against Kuwait for World Cup qualifying on 5 September 2024 in Amman, which Jordan drew 1–1.
