Basel

In May 2016, FC Basel had reached an agreement with Zamalek to transfer Gaber during the summer transfer window. He was assigned the number 4 shirt. The 24-year-old Gaber became the fourth Egyptian player to join Basel in less than five years, after signing a four-year contract with the Swiss side. On 10 May Basel confirmed the four-year deal.

On 1 July 2016 Gaber joined Basel's first team for their 2016–17 season under head coach Urs Fischer. After playing in six test games Gaber played in his domestic league debut for the club in the St. Jakob-Park on 24 July 2016 in a 3–0 home win against Sion. Under trainer Urs Fischer, Gaber and Basel won the Swiss Super League championship at the end of the 2016–17 Super League season. For the club this was the eighth title in a row and their 20th championship in total. They also won the Swiss Cup for the twelfth time, which meant they had won the double for the sixth time in the club's history. Gaber played in three cup games. In the following season Gaber did not have much playing time and so the club looked for another solution. On 21 November 2017 Basel announced that Gaber would be loaned out to Los…

Gaber made his debut for Egypt U20 on 17 April 2011 in the 2–0 victory against Lesotho U20. He represented Egypt at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia.
