Clear your schedule for July 11, because Marina’s Roman Theatre is about to throw the most iconic nostalgia fest of the summer. Hamid El Shari, Hisham Abbas, Ehab Tawfik, and Mohamed Fouad are taking the stage for one massive night of Egyptian pop classics. If you’re already planning your outfit, here’s every song we’re praying makes the setlist—and exactly why each one still lives rent-free in our heads.
Ouda – Hamid El Shari
A classic turned TikTok obsession, Ouda has that soft, hypnotic vibe that never gets old. The second those opening notes play, you just melt into the melody. Whether you first heard it on a dusty cassette or randomly scrolling your FYP at 3 AM, it’s the ultimate chill song that proves Hamid has always been ahead of his time.
Ghazaly – Hamid El Shari
If Ghazaly doesn’t instantly make you wanna get up and dance, are you even Egyptian? The music video alone is a cultural reset with fun outfits, a Moustafa Amar feature and Hamid looking effortlessly cool. You know the chorus is going to hit differently live, with everyone screaming along and living their best nostalgic lives.
Einy – Hisham Abbas ft. Hamid El Shari
This is the collab of all collabs. Einy feels like a perfect fusion of both their styles—playful, catchy, and totally unforgettable. Seeing them perform it together is like watching two pop legends recreate the magic right in front of you. Goosebumps guaranteed.
Habebe Da – Hisham Abbas
Some songs just make you smile without even realizing it. Habebe Da is that track—sweet, upbeat, and basically a soundtrack to every family road trip ever. It’s impossible to stay still when this one comes on, and you already know you’ll be clapping along before the first chorus.
Fenoh – Hisham Abbas
This one hits right in the feels. Fenoh is the definition of a bittersweet bop. Hisham’s voice is pure velvet here, and it’ll have the whole theatre swaying along.
Sahrany – Ehab Tawfik
Sahrany. The song that launched a thousand late-night sing-alongs. This track is literally the DNA of Egyptian pop in the ‘90s—dramatic, catchy, and perfect for screaming into the summer air. If they don’t play this, we riot.
Tetraga Fya – Ehab Tawfik
You can’t have Ehab Tawfik without Tetraga Fya. It’s one of those songs that somehow feels like both a love confession and a mini soap opera. Expect phone torches waving and at least a few people tearing up—yourself included.
El Hob El Ha’ei’y – Mohamed Fouad
If you grew up in the ‘90s, El Hob El Ha2e2y is basically woven into your DNA. This song defined what real love anthems sounded like back then. The chorus alone will have the whole crowd belting out every word, no shame whatsoever.
Habebi Ya – Mohamed Fouad
Simple, sweet, and iconic. Habebi Ya is one of Fouad’s biggest hits, and it still hits just as hard today. You can almost picture everyone singing this together, and reminiscing over their first love for a few perfect minutes.
If you miss this concert, you’ll regret it all year. Whether you’re here for the memories or the nostalgic vibes, July 11 is going to be unreal. See you there, singing your heart out.
