Before the start of the 2010–11 campaign, Gedo joined Egyptian giant Al Ahly, after much speculation of the player signing for Zamalek in January, which the player admitted. The case was presented to the Egyptian football association. A decision was made to charge Gedo 2,200,000 Egyptian pounds, with the ability to resume his career with Al Ahly. Gedo made his debut for Al Ahly against Ismaily in CAF Champions League 2010. Gedo scored eight goals in his first season with Ahly. Due to the Port Said Stadium disaster, the Egyptian Premier League was cancelled that season, and Ahly were only playing in CAF Champions League, playing once every two weeks or so. Gedo's form had dropped in the preliminary stages of the 2012 Champions League as he scored no goals in four matches. However, when the Ahly started playing in the group stage, Gedo participated in all six games starting two matches and being used as a sub in four. He scored the winner in a 2–1 win against TP Mazembe in the process. Gedo's form started to pick up again in September and carried through into October. He scored in a 2–1 win against ENPPI in the 2011 Egyptian Super Cup, scored twice in the first leg against Sunshine Stars which finished 3–3, and the winner in a 1–0…
