Kariman is considered one of the most prominent stars of the fifties and sixties in Egyptian cinema, and she played many roles that drew attention to her with her beauty and wit.
She began her career through the children's program "Baba Sharo", accompanied by broadcaster Mohamed Mahmoud Shaaban, the presenter of the program, and she also performed multiple acting roles through school theatre.
After she became a young woman, she participated in several films, and one of her most important roles was the character of Salwa in the movie “Sugar Hanem” opposite the artists Omar Hariri, Abdel Moneim Ibrahim and Kamal El-Shenawy, and the character Buthaina opposite the artists Ahmed Ramzy and Abdel Halim Hafez in the movie “Girls of the Day.”

Her last cinematic appearance was in 1966 in the movie “My Marty, General Manager,” in which she played the character of Aida, accompanied by artists Salah Zulfikar and Shadia.
Shortly after her participation, she announced her retirement, and pointed out in statements at the time that she did not integrate into the artistic community, and did not have any friendships, and therefore she decided to devote herself to her family and raising her son.
Kariman, born to a father of Lebanese roots and an Egyptian-Turkish mother, disappeared from the limelight for more than 55 years, until a picture of her was circulated in 2020, attracting great interest on social media.
