Sabah started touring the world beginning with the Arab world, Europe, the Americas, and then Australia. His name was enshrined in Guinness Book of Records, following his 10 hours continuous performance in Caracas, Venezuela. Sabah also held the position of a Syrian parliament member representing the Artists community. He was awarded and tributed in uncountable occasions by presidents, kings, cultural figures, and international organizations.

Indeed, the world consider him as the Essence of the Arab Tarab, and a reference in the world music heritage. He is also an inspirational and influential artist because many young artists are following his steps, including his son “Anass”.
