Born in Shibin El Qanater, El Debes began his career with the local side by the same name, before joining Al Mokawloon, where he spent five years.[2] He joined Wadi Degla in 2018, being promoted to the first team squad in 2020.[2][3] After impressive performances for Wadi Degla, despite the side being relegated to the Egyptian Second Division, he trialled with Belgian side K.V. Kortrijk, Italian side Udinese and Greek side Olympiacos.[2][3]
On 22 September 2022, El Debes' agent stated that he would move to Egyptian Premier League champions Al Ahly.[2] El Debes confirmed this himself only four day later.[4] He announced his departure from Wadi Degla via Instagram on 3 October 2022, by which point Zamalek had also been touted as a potential new club for El Debes.[5]
The move to Al Ahly was completed in October 2022, with El Debes scoring on his debut for the youth team in a 3–0 win against Petrojet.[6] In January 2023, El Debes trained with the Al Ahly first team for the first time, with both Al Ittihad Alexandria and National Bank of Egypt looking to secure a loan deal for the winger.[7][8]
El Debes represented Egypt's under-20 side at their unsuccessful 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations campaign, in which they were knocked out in the group stage, only collecting one point for a 0–0 draw with Mozambique.[9]
