wafa bin laden

An unnoticed girl walking down Fifth Avenue in New York … who could tell that her uncle is the world’s most wanted man? And that she is aiming to add a serious twist to her family name!
She is Wafa Bin Laden, or better known as Wafa Dufour (her mother’s maiden name).
She aspires to be a singer, and aims to step over the whole “Bin Laden” issue.

Amr Khaled

I’m not sure whether we should describe Amr Khaled as “elegant” or “fashionable”, but that is what nearly everyone thinks of him.
It was very obvious what sorts of people he attracted when he used to give religious sermons in the classy “Agouza” neighborhood in Cairo, by only looking at the Mercedes parked outside, and the expensive shoes on the doorsteps.
It was the women in particular who got sucked in by his message that was as far as could be from politics. Nevertheless, it was very convincing.

Zahi Wehbi & Zaven Kouyoumjian

Two of the very influential personalities of journalism and media these days are two Lebanese faces, Zaven Kouyoumjian & Zahi Wehbi.

In the past, talk-show hosts were more of the fatherly image and of elderly stature, and their shows were merely about political issues and usual matters, they also talked more than listened! Then came Zaven!
During his 13 years in the TV business, he has become a tool of revolution; by inviting real people to his talk-show on Future TV, with real problems and first hand experiences, starting from serious matters like globalization, and reaching simple topics like how to cook chicken. He has also shocked viewers around the Arab world with daring topics that were till recently Taboo; sex, adultery, addiction… etc.

You asked "Do Egyptians have big Schools like Lebanon? KASLIK, American University in Beirut, and more! Do you know any other language that Arabic"....
We got the CAC "Cairo American College", AUC "American University in Cairo", the French University and the German University…

As for actors and singers I don't have the time to tell you about all of them... just switch to any Arabic movie channel!
