Al-Soghair had traveled to the U.S. for a scheduled performance. He was detained during a routine security search at the airport. During this search, drugs listed on Egypt’s controlled substances schedule were found in his luggage.
According to initial reports, Al-Soghair immediately admitted that the substances were for personal use. He stated they were not meant for distribution or sale.
Al-Soghair is well-known for his popular performances in Egypt. He has faced legal troubles before. However, this incident has sparked new controversy, especially given the strict drug possession laws in the country.

The next steps will involve examining the substances found. Al-Soghair will also be questioned to determine the circumstances of his drug possession. Depending on the investigation’s findings, he could face serious legal consequences. Egypt’s narcotics laws impose strict penalties on those caught with illicit substances.
The scheduled performances and public appearances of Saad Al-Soghair are now in question , and it is unclear how long the investigation will take or whether he will face detention during the legal process. The Public Prosecution will ultimately decide whether formal charges will be filed and if Al-Soghair will be required to stand
