From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amr Adeeb

Amr Adib (also spelled Adeeb) (Arabic: عمرو أديب) is an Egyptian television presenter and interviewer. He is known for being a media personality with flair, intelligence, and integrity, as well as a sense of humour. Adib has an uncanny insight into what interests his audience, however diverse it may be, and broaches many previously taboo subjects in Egypt (e.g., religion, sex, dating, etc.). He also discusses and supports the rights of Copts.

He currently presents El Qahira El Yawm, a popular live television talk show (in Arabic) from Cairo, which airs on the El Yawm Channel which is part of the Orbit Satellite and Television Network. The show is watched in Egypt, and all over the Middle East and Europe, even reaching as far as Australia and the US.

In May of 2008 Mr Adeeb urged the authorities to prevent a group of Egyptian-born Jews from visiting the land of their birth.

Adib has been married twice: to Amany Souka, then to Lamees El Hadidi, who is also an Egyptian media personality. He has two sons: Khaled Adeeb (b 1992) from his first marriage, and Noor El Din Adeeb (b 1999).
