Noor Taher (Arabic: نور طاهر; (born 2 November 1999) is a Jordanian actress and model[1] of Palestinian descent. She is best known for her role as Layan Murad Fathi on the Netflix miniseries AIRawabi School for Girls.[2][3][4]

Early biography

Noor Taher was born on November 2, 1999, in Amman, Jordan, to Palestinian Parents. She has one younger sister, Karam Taher, who is also an actress and starred in the movie Farha. Noor is classically trained in ballet.[5] Her acting career began at the age of four. She was introduced to the film industry by her performing arts teacher, who was also a casting director at the time.[6]

Career

Taher stared appearing in films from the age of six, including Rowan Joffe’s The Shooting Of Thomas Hurndall and Cyrus Nowrasteh’s The Stoning of Soraya M both in 2008.[7] After appearing in films at such a young age, Taher took a break until accepting another acting role in the 2019 film Infidel. Her most notable role was in the 2021 Netflix miniseries, AlRawabi School for Girls, which premiered in 32 languages across 190 countries.[8]

In December 2023, Taher was listed as an "Arab Star of Tomorrow" by Screen Daily. [7]

Inspiration

In an interview to Harper's Bazaar Arabia,[9]Taher says that the one person in the film industry that she really looks up to is her co-star from AlRawabi School for Girls Rakeen Saad.

Personal life

In March 2022, Taher revealed through her Instagram page that she had dealt with epilepsy caused by a sudden seizure. She underwent brain surgery and was hospitalized for six days. Taher emphasized that these seizures were difficult to live with, as they are "not normal, but rather painful, and recovery from them does not come naturally." Taher wanted to spread public awareness about the disease and thanked her followers for showing support.[10]
