Duet by Amina and Hesham El Haj Pits Egypt against Lebanon

Egypt or Lebanon? Cairo or Beirut? Which location has contributed more to the world in terms of culture and history? 

In this duet, Egyptian singer Amina argues that Egypt, the Pharoahs, The Pyramids, Ummm Kulthum, and Abdel Halim Hafez prove that Cairo reigns supreme while Lebanese singer Hesham El Haj attempts to spotlight Lebanon's culture and history by highlighting the Phoenicians, Baalbeck, and Fairuz's music. 

The result of this humorous cultural standoff between Amina and Hesham.  Watch the video clip to find out :)
