When it comes to shaping the global music conversation, the Middle East sets the standard and continues to surprise us.
The latest move that wasn’t on our 2026 bingo card? A Saint Levant and Haifa Wehbe collaboration.
The unexpected duo took to the streets of Cairo over the weekend in a flower-lined float where Haifa, 50, was seen wearing a lavish wedding gown while Saint Levant – real name Marwan Abdelhamid – wore a dashing white suit.
Frankly, few pairings have sparked as much excitement as this iconic duo – with fans instantly investigating the story behind this mysterious sighting.
Turns out, the setup is for a collaboration on the horizon – and we’ve kept our calendars marked already. The pair is set to release their new track ‘Yelba’li El Abyad’ on July 10. A date which was mysteriously written on the side of the vehicle the pair were on, alluding to a release.
This is not the first time the two have been spotted together. Having gone viral in February with the pair singing Saint Levant’s hit song ‘Nari Nari Nari’. Following this iconic moment, Haifa shared an Instagram story thanking Saint Levant, 25, for a bouquet of roses. A gesture which was one of the first moves in sparking online conversation about a potential collaboration.
Haifa has long been considered one of the strongest artists within the region, with a cultural impact that runs deep. The Lebanese artist has been in the music scene since 2002 and quickly rose to fame with her debut album Houwa El-Zaman. With songs that are widely recognised throughout the Arab world, such as ‘Badna Nroue’ and ‘Enta Tani’.
Saint Levant, on the other hand, has quickly become an up-and-coming voice within the region. Notably, the artist comes from a multi-cultural background and has cemented a strong presence throughout the region as Palestinian representation. An element that’s deeply integrated within his identity as an artist. He’s widely known for his mixture of RnB and Hip-Hop with traditional Arabic rhythms.
With Haifa’s dynamic presence within the region’s music scene and Saint Levant’s rising influence, this is certainly a duo we didn’t know we needed.
