Music Videos
Diab is one of the first singers to popularise music videos in the Arab world and the first Egyptian singer to appear in music videos. With the exception of his very early releases, his albums have had at least one song shot as a music video. Diab has collaborated with a variety of music video directors in the Middle East, including Tarek El-Erian and Sherif Sabri.
The most anticipated video clip of 2007, "N'eoul Eih", was released on 14 August that year on Rotana TV. It was broadcast minutes later on Egyptian television on El Beit Betak. The video was a great success.
6 August 2009 witnessed the release of Amr Diab's latest video clip for his smash hit "Wayah". Working alongside Cameron Casey and for a second time, Amr Diab presented a fresh video clip which was filmed mostly on Green Screen and in Diab's personal villa in Cairo, Egypt. The biggest surprise was the appearance of Diab's children alongside his niece, who represented the younger generation of children who are inspired by the music of Amr Diab.
Diab also filmed "Ba2dem Alby" which was released on Valentine's Day.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or videos:
“The music of an unhappy people, of the children of disappointment; they tell of death and suffering and unvoiced longing toward a truer world, of misty wanderings and hidden ways.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
