Umm Kulthoum on Google

By AuthorIssandr El Amrani |

Umm Kulthoum makes an appearance in the logo, at least on www.google.com.eg. Why today? Some say it's her birthday (4 May 1900 to be exact, although no one knows for sure.) If that's the case, she shares it with another important Egyptian: Hosni Mubarak. Happy 82nd, ya rayiss.

It appears as a logo today on Google local domains for all Arab countries (Except Libya! Don't know why?!)
