Was it jaybee/Jumana who used to be active here? What ever happened to her, anyway?

Literally impossible!!!
I think you must have posted this one before because I don't know where else I'd have heard it. Love it!

This one is from a YouTube channel that otherwise mostly has Hazaragi songs. Sorry for the poor quality of the video again. I have no idea what variety it's in (maybe Egyptian??):

This one is about a shepherd, apparently (named Kumar, so presumably an Indian immigrant), who has a bad/abusive sponsor but then gets a better one. I think it might be from Saudi Arabia? (There seem to be a lot of Arabic songs in Saudi Arabia about immigrants being mistreated by their sponsors!). I'm not sure:

Definitely not Egyptian Not sure exactly what it is but both the dialect and the style of music sound Khaleeji to me. The video gives a telephone number at the very end in Yemen; maybe it's Yemeni?
Yep, sounds Saudi to me, sung in the partially broken Saudi Arabic of desi immigrants there.
