In 1995 he received his Masters Degree for his thesis: "The Egyptian Song in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century". Not satisfied with just a master degree, Ehab worked toward his Doctorate in Music and Arabic singing, completed in April 2002. The doctorate was entitled "The Methods of Performing Arabic Singing in Egypt during the second half of the last century".
He is seen as one of the top singers in the Arab world, especially revered in his hometown. Arguably, his greatest exposure as an artist came on February 26, 2001, when he performed for 50,000 people at a benefit concert to raise funds for Iraqis who were maimed during the Gulf War in Baghdad.
Critics say the successes of Ehab albums year after year can be attributed to his warm voice, good lyrics, and ability to find talented composers.
In 2006, Ehab denied rumors that he had an affair with the model that appears with him in the video "Alath Kilmit Hub" ("The Sweetest Love Word"). He said that she lives in Germany and came to Egypt solely to work as a model. She was born to an Egyptian father and a German mother, he added.

انا مين سهرني الليل غيرك انت
انا مين علمني الحب الا انت
انا مين سهرني الليل غيرك انت
قول يا حبيب العمر قول
انا قلبي بيك مشغول
قول يا حبيب العمر قول انا قلبي بيك مشغول
طول عمري بحلم بيك انت

حبيبي يا ملاك انا قلبي بيهواك وعنيا عشقاك
حبيبي انت
مطرح مطروح معاك ولا عمري يوم انساك علشان مليش سواك
ياروحي انت
قول يا حبيب العمر قول انا قلبي بيك مشغول
طول عمري بحلم بيك انت
وانا مين علمني الحب الا انت

The song "Alemny El Hob" by Ehab Tawfik expresses a deep and intense feeling of love for someone who has taught the singer the true meaning of love. The lyrics convey a sense of dependence and admiration towards the person who has been the sole source of the singer's happiness and consolation. The opening lines "Ana meen 'alamni el hob illa inta" ("Who else has taught me love but you?") set the tone for the rest of the song, which reflects on the profound impact that the other person has had on the singer's life.
The chorus, "Gool ya habibi al 'omr, gool, ana albik baik mashghoul" ("Tell me, my love of life, tell me, my heart is busy with you"), reinforces the idea that the singer's heart and mind are completely consumed by the other person. The repeated line "Ana meen sahrni el leil ghayrak inta" ("Who else has kept me awake at night but you?") highlights the idea that the singer's thoughts and feelings are inseparable from the other person.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of love and gratitude towards someone who has played a significant role in the singer's life. The lyrics are simple yet evocative, and the melody is haunting and emotional, making "Alemny El Hob" a timeless classic in Arabic music.
