Arab Music Festival and Conference

The Arab Music Festival and Conference is one of Cairo’s key annual music events, celebrating the region’s musical heritage with concerts by leading Arab singers and Arabic music ensembles.

Alongside the concerts, the conference brings together musicians and researchers for sessions on Arabic music.

Concerts take place at the Cairo Opera House, and tickets usually go on sale shortly before each show, so book early for the big names.
