Ruby is read about 303 times a day, in 20 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 15 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Ruby broke through Egyptian pop with "Enta Aref Leih" in 2003, a debut single that kicked off a career spanning music, film, and the occasional runway - a rare crossover in the Arab entertainment world.

Spouse: Sameh AbdulazizAbout this person
Born Rania Hussein Mohamed Tawfik in 1981, she adopted the stage name Ruby and released "Enta Aref Leih" ("Do You Know Why?") in 2003. The single launched her into the Egyptian mainstream, where she built a presence as a singer and actress. She also worked as a model, moving between industries in a way few Arab performers managed at the time.
