Nour Mhanna (Nur Mahana) is a Syrian singer.

Mhanna started his musical career as a reciter of the Qur'an, before switching to secular music. His most famous album to date is Wala Kan Albal with 3alayhi al Awaad the first track becoming an instant hit all over the Middle East.[citation needed]

On 1 July 2004 he performed at the Sycuan Resort and Casino in El Cajon, California.[1] He and his backup band traveled there on Northwest Airlines Flight 327, where their behaviour lead to suspicions that they were a dry run for a future possible terrorist attack.[2]
