Amr Diab unites with Ruby's business manager

Prominent Egyptian singer Amr Diab is in the preparation of filming a new music video “Wihkaytak Aih” (What Is Your Story) under the direction of Sharif Sabri, business manager of controversial singer Ruby. Filming of the song is scheduled to begin during May, and complete secrecy surrounds it. The singer and the director refused to reveal any details regarding the clip, stressing they want to keep it a surprise for Amr’s fans. Diab decided to screen his latest music video for the song “Wi Malo” (What If) in cinema houses across Egypt, a precedent for an Arab music video. Amr filmed the clip in London with a budget of over 2 million Egyptian pounds under the direction of two international directors, who directed clips for Sting, also a first for an Arab music video. Critics have described the clip as one of the best in Arabic music history.
