You’ve spotted him leafing through your copy of Vogue Arabia. It’s time he got his own copy. Indeed, he really can now. On the one-year anniversary of Vogue Arabia’s historic, digital-first launch, came Vogue Man Arabia in print — a premium style and culture supplement alongside our October issue. The online offering has now launched, too. The glossy supplement is pitched to the sartorially confident and culturally clued-up man who wants to push the parameters of his little black book, social IQ, and wardrobe.

The cover star, Egyptian hitmaker and actor Tamer Hosny – photographed by regular Vogue contributor Mazen Abusrour – marked the occasion with a tribute to the team on Instagram. “I would like to congratulate @voguearabia team for launching @voguemanarabia magazine. It was my pleasure to be on the cover of its 1st edition.”

Absurour reflected on the shoot itself as being a “surreal” experience. “I have clear memories from my youth associated with his songs, and to be just a lens distance apart was amazing,” he tells Vogue Arabia. “He has a great sense of humor. We shared a lot of laughs during the shoot.”

Manuel Arnaut, the editor-in-chief of Vogue Arabia, commented on Hosny’s meteoric rise in his editor’s letter: “Another perfect example of success is Tamer Hosny, our first cover star, photographed in the historical Manial Palace in Egypt. The actor, singer, and songwriter is without question one of the most recognizable faces of the Middle East, and is now also leaving his mark in Hollywood. After collaborating with Shaggy and Snoop Dogg, the pop sensation had his hand and foot imprinted at the famed Chinese Theater, next to other stars such as Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, and Marilyn Monroe. In his candid cover interview, he reveals the secret to his success, also reflected in his 25.5 million followers on social media. ‘When I started, I promised myself to never settle for mediocrity and never walk the lines of anyone else.’ Gentlemen, take note.”
