The Asmahan Doodle is regional and can be viewed in North Africa and the Middle East.

Google has often devoted its Doodle to anniversaries, shedding light on many famous international events and figures. Google Doodle is a temporary alteration of its logo on its homepage.

Doodles have on several occasions been related to Egypt. In July 2014 one was dedicated to late Egyptian actor and filmmaker Farid Shawqi, another to prominent Egyptian author Sohair El-Qalamawy on her 103rd birthday, and Latifa Al-Zayyat, the late Egyptian scholar and author of The Open Door.
