Warda sang in Beirut's cabarets.[4] In 1959, at a casino in Aley, she met the composer Mohammed Abdel Wahab, who taught her the art of classical singing and adapted the poet Ahmed Shawqi's qasida "Bi-Omri Kullo Habbitak" for her.[4] This led to her introduction to the Egyptian president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, who suggested that she be cast in a pan-Arab opera and perform the song "Al Watan Al Akbar" by Mohammed Abdel Wahab.[citation needed] Warda recorded it, as did other singers such as Abdel Halim Hafez and Fayza Ahmed.[1][5] The Egyptian director of musicals, Helmy Rafla, signed her to a contract, enabling her to pursue a musical and film career in Egypt.[3][6] She appeared in two of Rafla's films, "Almaz We Abdo El-Hamouly" and "Amirat al-Arab."[3][4]
