In 1939 he cofounded a weekly, Don Quichotte, together with his brother Henri Curiel and Georges Henein.[3]

In Beirut, he became friends with Daniel Schlumberger and Henri Seyrig.[1] Curiel was the French archaeological representative in Afghanistan in 1945 and served as Director of Antiques at the National Museum of Pakistan, 1954–1958.[4] He later acted as curator of the Oriental coins department at the French National Library.[5][6]
