It was the original Alf Leyla We Leyla (One Thousand and One Nights) by Om Kulthum. The version at the wedding was the instrumental by sax player Samir Sorour.

It is the same song that was playing in the cab from the airport and at a couple other places in the movie but the version where Om Kulthum actually sings.
