For financial reasons, she was unable to return to Egypt, so attended college in Tunisia, studying Dutch literature for a year and a half.

Her family decided to pay for her to go to Egypt, so she quit college in Tunisia and joined the Arab Academy of Music in Egypt, where she completed her bachelor degree.
