For 25 years, the Murex D’Or has been Lebanon’s glitziest night — a mix of red-carpet glamour, powerhouse performances, and heartfelt tributes. What started in 2000 as a ceremony for Lebanese artists quickly grew into a Pan-Arab celebration that honors stars from across music, film, and television.
The 2025 Silver Jubilee edition pulled out all the stops: a sparkling guest list, bold fashion statements, and electric shows. But of course, it was the winners who truly lit up the night.
Tamer Ashour: Best Male Arab Singer
Tamer Ashour had his big Murex moment, snagging the title of Best Male Arab Singer award. The crowd’s reaction made it clear — his music is resonating now more than ever.
Amal Maher: Best Female Arab Singer
Amal Maher owned the evening. Wrapped in a dazzling Rami Salamoun gown, she belted out more than one crowd-pleaser before stepping offstage with the Best Female Arab Singer award in hand. Her performance reminded everyone why she’s considered one of the Arab world’s most unforgettable voices.
Nabila Obeid: Lifetime Achievement Award
When Nabila Obeid walked up to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award, the applause felt endless. With a career spanning decades and a legacy of box-office hits, her recognition was more than a win — it was a tribute to a woman who defined Arab cinema for generations.
Nicole Saba: Best Lebanese Actress
Nicole Saba brought both drama and elegance to the night. Winning Best Lebanese Actress for her role in W Teqabel Habib , she proved she’s as commanding on screen as she is on the red carpet.
Nawal Al Zoghby: Best Lebanese Female Singer & Best Album
Few artists embody the spirit of the Murex D’Or like Nawal Al Zoghby. Not only did she electrify the stage this year, but she also took home multiple awards, including Best Lebanese Female Singer and Best Album. In a touching moment, she reminded the audience that she was the very first Lebanese artist to win a Murex D’Or back in 2000. A queen then, a queen now.
Amina Khalil: Best Arab Actress in Egyptian Drama
Amina Khalil’s turn in Lam Shamsya won her Best Arab Actress in Egyptian Drama, and she made the win look effortless in a chic Elie Saab gown. Between her fashion moment and her acting chops, she stole plenty of attention both on and off stage.
Maged El Masry: Best Arab Actor in Egyptian Drama
Maged El Masry’s powerful performance in Esh Esh earned him Best Arab Actor in Egyptian Drama. His mix of charm and grit has long been a favorite with audiences, and this award only cemented his standing.
Conclusion
The Murex D’Or 2025 proved why it’s still the region’s most-watched night after a quarter century. It wasn’t just about trophies — it was about legacy, glamour, and the magic of live performances. From Amal Maher’s powerhouse vocals to Nawal Al Zoghbi’s full-circle triumph, the Silver Jubilee reminded us that the Arab entertainment scene is as vibrant and unstoppable as ever.
