He received additional military training in the former Soviet Union at Moscow's Frunze Military Academy. Furthermore, he holds bachelors and master degrees in Political Science from Ain Shams and Cairo Universities in the mid-1980s. Having distinguished himself as a brilliant military man, Suleiman was transferred to military intelligence, where he began what was to be a long relationship between Egypt and the United States.

Establishing himself as a distinguished military man, he became the director of military intelligence in 1991.
