Faour was born in Tarshiha, and moved to the United States to study theater and performance when she was 16.[citation needed] She then came back home in order to study acting at the Kibbutzim College of Education in Tel Aviv between 1991 and 1994, and later on directing at the University of Haifa. She has performed in a number of award-winning theatrical plays.[citation needed] She also appeared in Palestinian films such as In the Eighth Month, directed by Ali Nassar, Jamr Alhikaya (Whispering Embers) and The Savior. Her television appearances include Family Deluxe, as well as Mishwar Al-Joma.[1]

Faour's performance as Muna Farah, a Palestinian immigrant to the United States in the 2009 independent film Amreeka, received high marks from film critics.[2][3] American film critic Kenneth Turan argues that, while all of the casting choices "are excellent, [...] it is Palestinian actress Nisreen Faour as the irrepressible Muna who truly owns the picture".[4]
