Nabil Sawalha (Arabic: نبيل صوالحة) is a Jordanian actor, born near the city of Madaba in 1941. His family, especially his mother, encouraged him and his brother Nadim Sawalha, a British actor, to pursue a career in acting, which was not a normal career path in Jordan at the time. Sawalha began his theatre career by acting in BBC radio plays in 1950s while studying engineering in the UK. In 1962, he returned to Jordan and joined the Jordanian National Theatre Group. In 1968, Sawalha formed his own production company, Urdon Co., and began producing series for local and regional Arab networks, such as Tamara.
