Google celebrates Egyptian composer Mohamed Abdel-Wahab's 110th birthday with a pair of eyeglasses and an Oud. Abdel-Wahab was one of Egypt's best known music composers as well as an actor and film producer
The design, known as a Google Doodle, is part of a Google tradition whereby changes are made to the Google logo on its search engine page to celebrate holidays, anniversaries and the lives of famous artists and scientists.
