Afro-Saudis
Afro-Saudis are Saudi people of Black African heritage. Afro-Saudis are the largest Afro-Arab group. They are spread all around the country but are mostly found in the major cities of Saudi Arabia. Afro-Saudis speak Arabic and adhere to Islam. Their origins date back centuries ago to African Muslim migrants settling in Saudi Arabia, and to the Arab slave trade. History Arabia and Africa have been in contact starting with the obsidian exchange networks of the 7th millennium BC. These networks were strengthened by the rise of Egyptian dynasties of the 4th millennium BC. Anthropologists have indicated the likely existence of settlements in Arabia, from the people of the Horn of Africa, as early as the 3rd and 2nd millenniums BC. Population In 2021, their population is 3,500,000, or 10% of Saudi Arabia’s 35,000,000 people. Social condition Unlike in the Americas of the 19th century, slaves in the Middle East were allowed to own land and their children were generally not born ...

Etab
Tarouf Abdulkhair Adam Muhammad al-Talal Hawsawi ( ar, طروف عبد الخير آدم محمد الطلال هوساوي), known professionally as Etab, ( ar, عتاب, translit= ; December 30, 1947 – August 19, 2007) was a Saudi Arabian singer active from the 1960s to the 1990s. Of Hausa descent, she was born in Saudi Arabia, but moved to Egypt soon after her second marriage to an Egyptian man in 1978. Many Arab music historians agree that she was forced out of Saudi Arabia at the orders of then Saudi King Khalid due to her musical concerts considered risqué in Saudi Arabia at that time. In 1983 she became an Egyptian citizen. Considered one of the first female Saudi singers, Etab started singing in the 1960s, and performed at weddings with Sarah Osman and the ʻoud player Hayat Saleh. She recorded more than 15 albums and appeared in three movies. She became ill with cancer in 1997, and died in Cairo on 19 August 2007. Etab was an advocate for women in music, and member ...

The X Factor (Arabic TV Series)
''The X Factor Arabia'', originally aired on March 26, 2006 with the title ''XSeer Al Najah'' (meaning Elixir or Essence of Success) is the Arab version of ''The X Factor''. The Arabic-language version of the program also created by Simon Cowell has a similar format to the British version, in that there are judges who each have a team of contestants to mentor and compete with each other for the X Factor title. The 14-episode first series was broadcast in 22 Arabic-speaking countries. In its debut, it was known as being one of the most watched programs on television and was produced and supported by Rotana, one of the largest production companies in the Arab World. The winner of ''XSeer Al Najah'' earned a chance to sign with Rotana. However, with the continuing success of the rival pan-Arab series ''Star Academy'' on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC), ''XSeer All Najah'' lost most of its pan-Arab appeal and was discontinued after season 2. In 2012, the Egyptian TV channel ...
