In a dazzling start to 2026, Egyptian music icons Tamer Hosni and Tamer Ashour drew the eyes—and ears—of the nation with a high-profile New Year’s Eve concert and a headline-grabbing business inauguration in Egypt’s new administrative capital. Their dual appearance, both as performers and ribbon-cutters, set social media abuzz and made them the talk of the town as Egyptians ushered in the new year.
According to coverage from Al-Qahera 24 and Al-Asboa, the festivities on January 1, 2026, were nothing short of spectacular. The two stars not only gave a show-stopping joint performance but also officially opened new branches of the Al-Baheth chain, including the prominent 'Jewel' branch in the heart of the new administrative capital, Al-Asima Al-Jadida. The inauguration was a major event, drawing large crowds of fans, followers, and local dignitaries eager to witness the union of music and entrepreneurship.
The concert itself was a memorable affair. Fans who packed the venue were treated to a unique musical exchange: Tamer Hosni belted out "Hegeeli Mawgood," a signature hit of Tamer Ashour, while Ashour responded with a heartfelt rendition of Hosni’s "Baeesh." As reported by Al-Qahera 24, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers as the two artists took the stage together, their camaraderie and mutual respect evident in every note. Social media soon lit up with video clips and photos, and both singers quickly became trending topics on Google and other platforms.
But the night wasn’t just about the music. The event doubled as a major business milestone, with Hosni and Ashour presiding over the ribbon-cutting for several new Al-Baheth branches, not only in the administrative capital but also across various governorates. This move marked a significant expansion for the Al-Baheth chain, which has steadily grown its footprint in Egypt’s retail and service sectors. The symbolism of two beloved entertainers leading the inauguration wasn’t lost on attendees, many of whom saw it as a sign of optimism and renewal for the year ahead.
Al-Asboa highlighted that the inauguration ceremony was meticulously organized, with fans and guests gathering to witness the opening moments. The excitement was palpable as Tamer Hosni and Tamer Ashour officially ushered in the new branches, cutting the ceremonial ribbon and sharing a few words of gratitude with the assembled crowd. The event underscored the duo’s versatility—not only as artists but as influential public figures capable of drawing attention to major commercial developments.
The New Year’s concert, which took place in the new administrative capital, was a sold-out affair. Ticket prices were set at a flat rate of 750 Egyptian pounds per person, according to the event’s official ticketing partner, Tazkarti. This accessible pricing contributed to the overwhelming turnout, with fans eager to celebrate the start of 2026 in style. The organizers, mindful of safety and crowd control, established a series of clear rules for attendees: doors opened at 3 p.m., paper tickets had to be printed and collected in advance, and each child over the age of three required a ticket. Prohibited items included flammable materials, substances affecting awareness, as well as outside food and drink. All sales were final, with no refunds or exchanges allowed—a policy intended to ensure a smooth and secure experience for everyone.
Both singers took the opportunity to perform a medley of their greatest hits, spanning years of chart-topping success. Fans sang along to every word, turning the concert into a communal celebration. For many, the highlight was the musical "duet"—a playful swap of each other’s songs that showcased both their vocal prowess and their easy rapport. As Al-Qahera 24 described, "The two stars appeared together on stage amid great interaction from the audience." The moment was widely shared online, cementing its place as one of the night’s most memorable highlights.
In addition to the concert and business launch, Tamer Hosni’s recent activities have kept him firmly in the public eye. Just weeks prior, he headlined the annual charity event for the Raai Masr Foundation for Development, a member of the National Alliance for Civil Development Work. The proceeds from that concert went to support families in need, marking Hosni’s first major public appearance since a recent health scare. The event, held at the historic Abdeen Palace, was both a musical showcase and a testament to Hosni’s commitment to philanthropy.
The timing of the New Year’s festivities could hardly have been better. Egypt’s new administrative capital has been positioned as a symbol of the country’s future—a modern, purpose-built city designed to relieve congestion in Cairo and serve as a hub for government, business, and culture. Hosting the concert and business inauguration in this setting lent the events an added layer of significance. It was a statement, both literal and symbolic, about progress, unity, and the power of art and commerce to bring people together.
For their part, both Tamer Hosni and Tamer Ashour seemed to relish the occasion. Their friendly rivalry and mutual admiration were on full display, delighting fans who have followed their careers for years. As the confetti settled and the last notes of music faded, it was clear that the night had been a resounding success—not just for the artists, but for the thousands who joined them in ringing in the new year with hope, joy, and a shared sense of possibility.
The buzz generated by the event shows no signs of fading. With new business ventures underway and a fresh burst of creative energy, both Hosni and Ashour are poised to make 2026 a year to remember. As Egypt’s entertainment scene continues to evolve, their partnership stands as a reminder of the enduring appeal of collaboration, innovation, and good old-fashioned star power.
As the country looks ahead, the echoes of that unforgettable night in the new administrative capital linger—a fitting beginning to a year already marked by ambition, celebration, and the promise of even greater things to come.
