Al-Tuwaijri entered the world of art through presenting a number of programs, including "Al Saado Waad," in which he played the role of "Hazzaaz," and worked on the drama "Return of Aasweed," written and directed by Adnan Ibrahim. Among his most prominent works are the series "Furj Allah and Time," "Happy Dreams," "Asayil," "Adult's Play," "Stay With Me," "Abu Rash Rash," and "Selfie."
