The Egyptian maestro will close the season with cinematic compositions and soaring orchestration.
The winter calendar in AlUla is built for big moments, and few feel as timeless as Omar Khairat live in concert. The legendary Egyptian composer, pianist, and conductor returns to the region’s most striking venue, bringing a night of melody and emotion to Maraya on Friday, 16 January 2026, from 7pm to midnight.
If you have ever found yourself caught up in an instrumental theme from Arabic cinema or television, chances are you have already crossed paths with Khairat’s work. Known for blending Arabic musical heritage with classical structure and subtle jazz influences, he has spent decades shaping the sound of modern instrumental music across the region. Experience AlUla notes that his catalogue spans more than 120 film and TV scores, a legacy that has turned his compositions into instant cues for nostalgia.
Then there is the setting. Maraya is not just a concert hall; it is an architectural headline, holding the Guinness World Records title for the largest mirrored building in the world, reflecting AlUla’s desert landscapes like a living backdrop. That makes Khairat’s return feel especially fitting, with music that is equally reflective, dramatic, and quietly powerful.
Tickets to see Omar Khairat live in AlUla start at SAR 500 (Bronze), SAR 700 (Silver), and SAR 900 (Gold), while the Maraya Suite experience is priced at SAR 9,900. Most ticket holders will park at Winter Park and take the dedicated shuttle service to Maraya, while Maraya Suite guests can arrive via valet at the venue. A formal dress code applies, and the event is open to guests aged 12 and above.
Whether you are planning a full AlUla weekend or a one-night cultural escape, this is the kind of concert that makes the journey worth it.
