Maryem Tollar (born 1968 in Cairo, Egypt) is a Toronto-based singer who primarily sings Arabic songs.
Born in Cairo, Maryem went to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada with her parents when she was one year old in 1969.
Four years later, her father began working in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, so her family moved back to the Middle East and stayed there until she graduated from The American University in Cairo.
