If you’re into Arabic music, there’s a good reason to mark your calendar for December 24, 2025. Omar Khairat is coming to Dubai Opera, and it’s not something you’ll want to miss.
Khairat is one of the most well-known composers in the region, with a career that’s been going strong for over 40 years. He’s behind the music for more than 120 film and TV productions, and his instrumental pieces mix classical, jazz, and Arabic influences in a way that’s instantly recognisable.
Even if you don’t know him by name, chances are you’ve heard some of his work, like “Leilet al quabd al Fatma,” “Khali Balak Men Aklak,” or “Zay El Hawa 1.”
Over the years, he and his orchestra have performed in London, Muscat, Doha, and across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, including places like Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Morocco. He also played at the opening of the New Suez Canal in Egypt in 2015.
The upcoming show at Dubai Opera is a rare chance to see the great maestro live in the city. Tickets are now available on Platinumlist.
If you’re in Dubai and enjoy live music with depth and emotion, book your seat for Omar Khairat live performance at Dubai Opera on December 25. It’s going to be a memorable night of music that says a lot, without saying a word.
