AlUla : Iconic Lebanese singer Elissa is set to grace the stage of AlUla’s awe-inspiring Maraya on 9 January 2026 as one of the headline acts of this year’s Maraya Classical Concert Series.
Affectionately known as the “Queen of Emotions,” Elissa has long been a defining voice of Arab music. Her artistry is a seamless blend of heartfelt lyrics, emotive vocals, and timeless melodies, making her the perfect fit for the spellbinding Maraya Classical Concert Series.
This year, she will deliver an unmissable performance and will for the first time perform with an all-female orchestra, led by the legendary Maestro Hany Farhat.
With over 30 million albums sold and three World Music Awards to her name, Elissa continues to shape the sound of contemporary Arabic music. Her extensive list of accolades, including Murex d’Or and Arab Music Awards, further cements her status as one of the region’s most influential and beloved musicians.
A global streaming phenomenon, Elissa’s songs have resonated with millions around the world, her music becoming the soundtrack to countless lives. Audiences in AlUla can look forward to a night of pure emotion as she brings her signature mix of Arabic pop and romantic ballads to the shimmering mirrored walls of Maraya – the architectural marvel that perfectly, and literally, reflects the beauty of AlUla.
Elissa’s much-anticipated concert follows a performance by fellow Lebanese star Wael Kfoury, who will take the Maraya stage on December 19.
