Giza Pyramids Welcome Shakira After a Long Absence

Global Colombian star Shakira is preparing to return to Egypt after an absence of nearly 19 years, with a grand concert hosted at the Giza Pyramids area on November 28, as part of her current world tour, which is named after her latest album, “Women Are No Longer Crying.” The album reflects a new artistic and personal phase in the Colombian star’s career, addressing themes of separation, self-reclamation, strength, transformation, and overcoming difficult experiences, blending Latin pop music with contemporary rhythms. Shakira’s return to the Egyptian audience follows her previous participation in a concert in Egypt in 2007, renewing her presence on the Egyptian artistic scene through one of the most prominent stops on her world tour, where she will perform a selection of her most famous songs alongside her recent works. The event is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. and last for six hours, concluding at 11:00 p.m., set against a backdrop that combines global musical performances with the unique historical setting of the Giza Pyramids. Shakira shared a short video on her official Instagram account, addressing her Egyptian fans with a simple Arabic greeting: “Welcome, I’m Shakira, very happy to sing in Egypt, in Giza, and at the Pyramids. I love you.” The choice of the Giza Pyramids as the venue adds extra significance to the concert, bringing together one of the most prominent global music stars with one of the world’s most famous archaeological landmarks, lending an exceptional character to the anticipated experience for the audience. Ticket prices start at 7,000 Egyptian pounds ($134 USD) for standing areas, while VIP standing tickets cost approximately 12,000 Egyptian pounds ($230 USD), and Golden Circle tickets reach around 15,000 Egyptian pounds ($288 USD).
