A youth product of Raja, Chibi began his senior career with them in 2011 signing a 5-year professional contract.

In a game between Pyramids FC and Al Ahly SC in June 2023, Mohamed Chibi got into a fight with Hussein El Shahat. Following the 3-0 win for Pyramids, El Shahat "said some harsh words regarding Chibi's religion" and then "slapped the face of Chibi and threatened to break his leg." The staff for both sides had to stop the conflict. El Shahat reportedly offered to apologize to Chibi and shook his hand. El Shahat was then fined £20,000 and given a two-match suspension. Former footballer Moataz Eno stated he believed that El Shahat did the right thing.
