Raheb's directorial debut was her 1995 short film The Last Screening, which revolves around the relationship between a girl and her grandfather's theatre.
[1] Raheb directed the 2002 documentary So Near Yet So Far, which is about the February 6 Intifada that squashed the hopes of visiting neighbouring countries for children living in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan.
[1] Suicide (2003) documents the Lebanese response to the American invasion of Iraq, depicting intelligence agencies involved and those in Lebanon who accepted Iraqi propaganda and joined the fight.

[6] To that end, Sleepless Nights depicts the lives of Assaad Chaftari, an ex-intelligence officer and a high-ranking member of a right-wing militia, who killed many people; and Maryam Saiidi, whose son went missing in 1982.
[9] Jay Weissberg, writing for Variety, said, "It's hard to find a Lebanese film that doesn’t focus on the bloody civil war.
"[6] Her 2018 documentary Those Who Remain, which was screened[year needed] at more than 20 festivals, is about a 60-year old Christian farmer living in North Lebanon who is struggling to stay in his land amid sectarian tensions.
[10] In 2021, Raheb produced and directed Miguel's War, a hybrid documentary which follows a gay man who returns to Lebanon after 37 years in exile in Spain.

[13] Viola Shafik, author of Arab Cinema: History and Cultural Identity, referred to Raheb's association Beirut DC as a "backbone of Lebanese alternative film art".
"Ayam Bayrut al-sinim'iya" considered her touring Arab Film Week among her association's most effective cultural initiatives.
This film is not a biased journalistic report; rather it is a creative work that identifies with the human: her emotions, fears, and dreams.
