Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi has filmed a special episode for the program “Malakat” aired on the Egyptian satellite channel “Hya Al Mara’a Al Arabia” (Hya the Arab Woman), a channel geared toward Arab women.

According to the Qatar based daily, Al Raya, the episode will be screened in two parts, the first under the title “Haifa the Queen” and the second “Haifa the Star.”  Haifa talks about the most significant moments of her career and her personal life.

The episode was filmed with journalist Sawsan Al Said, and on the program Haifa clarifies her relationship with south Lebanon, where she is from.

Haifa also performs a number of her most popular hits, in addition to the song “Mish Ader Astana” (I Can’t Wait) from her latest album, presenting it as a gift to the station.

Haifa is planning her wedding in the near future. The singer said her fiancée has the characteristics she has been looking for in a partner, describing him as the man of her dreams.
 
Haifa said her husband to be does not distinguish between Haifa the singer and Haifa the person.  He gives her the feeling of real security and makes her feel as if she can face anything as long as he is by her side, said Haifa.
 
The singer said she intends to have another child.  Haifa’s only daughter, Zeinab, lives with her ex-husband.
 
Haifa is placing the final touches on her upcoming album, but has yet to choose a new production company, suggesting she may produce the album on her own.

Despite the numerous offers she received after she ended her contract with ‘Rotana,’ the singer has not expressed any interest in a particular company.

It is expected the new album will be titled “Khalini Ma’ak” (Leave me with you), on which she cooperated with a number of prominent composers from Lebanon and Egypt.

The album will feature at least two songs for children.
