Moukhtar issued his second book called Caricatures of Moustapha Moukhtar(1927-1936).
He participated in many art exhibitions inside and outside Egypt, starting in 1917, and received many awards and honors. In addition to his professionalism in caricature, he also specialized in oil painting, sculpture, and woodcarving.
