As Arabs Got Talent judge, Najwa Karam looked every inch the flawless diva. The singing sensation was known as the most charming lady in the Levant but this Eid al Adha she may be facing her fiercest ever competition for the glamorous crown.

Najwa will be playing the Qatari capital on the second day of the Muslim holiday in a grand dinner event in the Al Qasar concert hall. But she will have to share her stage with none other than Bassem Feghali, the legendary Lebanese drag queen.

It's not your usual line up for a religious holiday and Bassem is certainly not known for toning down his act, which sees him play everyone from Sabah to Madonna. It may come as a shock to both Najwa and the Qatari Sheikhs if she is upstaged by a man!
