- If you are running a hybrid config, you need to use the set-remotemailbox with the -alias parameter with the on premises Exchange shell instead.
Set-remotemailbox -identity walid.fawzy@contoso.com -alias wfawzy

Set-remotemailbox -identity walid.fawzy@contoso.com -alias wfawzy
Set-remotemailbox -identity walid.fawzy@contoso.com -alias wfawzy
I applied that command with power shell but appears error
Set-remotemailbox : The term 'Set-remotemailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Did you run the cmdlet in an Exchange Management Shell (EMS)? The cmdlet is not available in a regular PowerShell session.
Which version of Exchange is in use on-premises?

- i'm using two plans ( office 365 business premium & Exchange online "Plan 1" ) .
Usually it syncs changes from on prem AD to Azure every 30 min, unless you force a sync (at least AD Connect does). Have you waited enough? Also how are you checking if it works? New alias should appear in email addresses list in this user's Office 365 user card in admin center. You can also try sending an email to the new address.
- If you didn’t already you would need to import the Exchange module and connect to you onprem environment (or try running it from the Exchange Management Shell on the server itself).
