During the winter break of the 2004/05 season, Zidan moved to the German first division club Werder Bremen . In his first two Bundesliga games, he scored a goal shortly after being substituted on. Due to an injury in early 2005, he was rarely used until the end of the season.

In the summer break of 2005, Zidan moved on loan for the 2005/06 season to 1. FSV Mainz 05 , where he became a regular and with nine goals the team's second-best goalscorer. On February 4, 2006, he scored the fastest goal of the 2005/06 Bundesliga season after 13 playing seconds at his actual employer, Werder Bremen.

Zidan returned to Bremen in the summer of 2006. After a disappointing first half of the season, in which he was hardly used, Mainz 05 finally signed him in the following winter break.

In the summer of 2007, Zidan moved to Hamburger SV . There he could not prevail due to numerous injuries. At the beginning of the 2008/09 season he moved to his former coach Jürgen Klopp in Dortmund .

On matchday 31 of the 2009/10 season, Zidan tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee without outside interference and was out for seven and a half months. After recovering from his injury and having curious emigration problems from his home country Egypt , he made his comeback for the Egyptian national soccer team in a friendly against Australia on November 17, 2010 and scored the goal to make it 3-0 in the 90th minute after being in the game had come. Shortly thereafter, on December 2, 2010, he made his comeback at Borussia Dortmund against FK Karpaty Lviv in the Europa League .

A contract extension with the Mainz for the 2012/13 season did not come about due to differences of opinion with coach Thomas Tuchel . On July 30, 2012, Zidan signed a two-year contract with the Baniyas Sport Club in the United Arab Emirates , but only played there one season. In the 2015/16 season, Zidan was in the squad of the Egyptian first division club El-Entag El-Harby .
