Albert Mankabadi was a student at King Fuad I University (now Cairo University) studying law when he represented Egypt in rowing at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. He was eliminated in the round one repêchage of both the coxed pairs and the coxed fours, in the former with Mohamed Anwar and Ali Tawfik Youssif and the latter alongside Mohamed El-Sahrawi, Hamza Amera, and Mamdooh and Wagih El-Attar. By career, he became an executive officer with the Central Bank of Egypt in Cairo. He later moved to Canada, where he worked as an investment dealer with McConnell & Company in Toronto. He became a Canadian citizen in 1966 and died a few years later in Toronto.
