The most influential Arab figures this year

Mohamed Salah

It is not surprising that the Liverpool striker and the Egyptian national team joined the list of the most prominent sports figures for this year. And the comment accompanying Salah's name on the list stated, "Better as a human being than as a football player. He is one of the best soccer players in the world. He is an important figure to Egyptians, Liverpool residents and Muslims around the world, yet he always seems like a humble, sober and cheerful man.”

Rami Malek

Egyptian-American actor Rami Malek gained international fame for his role in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody". He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of singer-songwriter Freddie Mercury. He also won a Golden Globe for Best Actor for the same role as the lead singer of the British rock band Queen.
