Dinamo Zagreb will play against Swiss team Thun home and away on July 21 and 28.
The Algerian striker participated in 42 matches during the past season, scoring 18 goals and providing 7 assists.
Al Ahly seeks to bolster its attack in preparation for the season under the leadership of Moroccan Hussein Ammouta, having signed Oktay Abdullah from Enppi and Sofiane Benguedda from Maghreb Fez.
Mounsef Bakr began his career with USM Sétif before moving to Croatian club Istra in the summer of 2022.
Bakr then moved to American club New York City in the summer of 2023, before returning to the Croatian league via Dinamo Zagreb last summer.
