The company organizing Amr Diab’s concert at a New Cairo hotel, scheduled for December 25th on the occasion of Christmas, will ban attendance of female veiled fans and those below 18 years of age.
The reason given for this ban was that alcoholic beverages will be served, according to employees of the information office.
Contacting the company through their hotline, an employee tasked with talking to reporters said, in English, that this is normal in such concerts and that those below 18 years old will also be denied access, due to the "nature of the concert".
