Nancy Ajram and Karl Wolf Make Top 100 Most Influential Arabs


top 100 arab celebrities

You may be wondering which Top 100 did Nancy Ajram and Karl Wolf get ranked in?
Well, Arabian Business releases it's own list of The Top 100 most influential Arabs in the World every year.
This year, their list contains a lot of names that come from the sparkling show business realm.

Topping the list is, who else? ... Prince Al Waleed Ben Talal and the last of the lot is Cartoonist Mohammed Saeed Harib, who created the funny cartoon Freej.

Strangely enough, at No. 3 came a simple guy with lots of guts; Iraqi journalist Montather Al Zaidi. He's the dude that made headlines all over the world, for throwing a shoe at George Bush during a press conference in Iraq.

Lebanese celebrities like Nancy Ajram, Karl Wolf and Fashion designers Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad made the list as well. We cannot leave out Fairuz either! She came in at No. 72.

Other Arab celebrities to make the list are Syrian actors Sulaf Fawakherji and Ghassan Masoud and well known director Hatem Ali.
Another famous actor also made the list, Egyptian star Adel Imam.
Singer Amr Diab also made the list and came in at an impressive No. 46!
Another Egyptian singer/actor came in at No. 63, heartthrob Tamer Hosny.

What do YOU think?
Is there another Arab celebrity that should have been on the list?

    I think one should be NAWAL AL ZOGHBI because she is broad and talented. Many people who dont speak arabic actually know who she is. I think she is a fashionista and a style icon. She is a musical genius. She is beautiful and smart and knows how to run her career.
