Amr Diab (born: Amr Abdel Basset Abdel Azeez Diab (Arabic:عمرو عبد الباسط عبد العزيز دياب) is an singer, born on 11th October 1961 in Port Said, Egypt. عمر دياب is one of the most known pop singers for over twenty years.


Amr Diab was born into an artistic family. His father worked for the Suez Canal Corporation as a porter in the marina, was and part-time sheep herder. He possessed a fine singing voice and encouraged the young Diab to sing and dance at the mawaled (street festivals) in this early age.

When Diab was just six years old, his father took him to the 23rd July Festival at Port Said, where they visited the local broadcasting station and Amr made his first singing appearance on Egyptian Radio performing the National Anthem “Bilady, Bilady, Bilady”. He was praised by the Governor of Port Said who awarded him with a guitar as a prize.

In due course, Diab began his musical studies at the music faculty of the Cairo Academy of Art and from which he graduated in 1986. His first album Ya Tareeq followed shortly and was an instant success. There have been, since then, sixteen top selling albums in a prolific recording career which has established him as a super-star in Egypt and the Arab world.

Diab has toured widely throughout his career organizing galas and performing concerts in Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States.
