A third album Bedawwar A Albi was released in early 2004 followed by the release of her fourth album Baya al Ward in 2006. The album's breakthrough of the same name caused the entertainer to face negative critical publicity and a number of controversies.

The career of Amal Hijazi is surely not over yet. With her passionate voice and her unique appearance she may possibly climb the ladder till the very top
