Late Egyptian artist Abdel Halim Hafez delighted Egyptian fans with a hologram concert, the first-of-its-kind in Cairo.
The first such hologram concert featuring the late icon was held three months ago at the Dubai Opera House.
Held on June 17 an 18, the event was held in the Mall of Arabia in the city of the 6th of October (west of Cairo), and co-organized by MBC and RMC.
The event was originally scheduled for April 2 but disputes between the organizers and the late a singer’s family forced its postponement.
Despite the obstacles, the concerts drew a massive crowd, prompting organizers to announce an additional performance on June 25.
The organizing company confirmed in a statement that health and safety measures were fully implemented during the event due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Previous hologram concerts featured the late Umm Kulthum.
Ahmed Obaid, head of the event’s organizing company, pledged that more hologram concerts will be held soon throughout the world.
