With her innovative designs that have taken the region by storm, Zena Malek has become one of the most influential architects in the Arab world.

Now based in the UAE, she is the brains behind the revolutionary Sakani software, a totally new architectural style of design which enables different configurations of houses, buildings, restaurants and facilities to be built through mass-production methods.

This means an entire housing development can be designed with each unit receiving an individual configuration.

The software has been a huge hit in the Middle East with the Bahraini Investment Bank and Bahrain government both implementing it, while several Dubai government officials are considering using Sakani.

Correction, someone said Steve was Lebanese..he is not. His father was a US college professor from Syria, and his mother was American. Check it out on Wikipedia.com.
Arabs...?

Steve Jobs is an arab, of Lebanese origin. If your list spans "the world" then you'd be remiss for him not to be in it.
