Get ready for a habibi takeover…

If you know Amr Diab, no introduction is needed. And if you don’t? You’ve probably heard habibi ya nour el ain at some point, either at a wedding or in a club. The Middle Eastern icon has spent decades shaping the sound of Arabic pop, and his music has traveled far beyond the region, earning him fans from Cairo to California. Next weekend, the legend himself is heading to Abu Dhabi for a massive night at Etihad Park on Yas Island, on April 5.

Amr Diab x Adam Port


In an epic twist, Amr Diab won’t be performing solo. Joining him on stage for the first time ever in the UAE is Adam Port, a powerhouse in the Afro house scene. Two musical legends from different musical landscapes are coming together for a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Expect a mix of classics, groovy Afro beats and that signature Amr Diab energy that turns any concert into a full-blown party.
