When and where is Shakira’s concert at the Pyramids?
Shakira performs at the Pyramids of Giza on Saturday 28 November 2026, as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. The show is presented by Venture Lifestyle on the Giza plateau, with the pyramids as the backdrop, and around 20,000 people are expected.
It is a return visit: Shakira first played at the pyramids in 2007 and has not performed in Egypt since. The concert was originally planned for April 2026 and was moved to November, and with her Doha and Abu Dhabi dates cancelled, it is expected to be her only show in the region on this tour. The promoter expects a large share of the crowd to fly in for it, so book a hotel near the pyramids early for that weekend.
If you want the trip handled in one booking, our Shakira at the Pyramids packages include the concert ticket, a hotel near the pyramids, airport transfers and a driver to the concert and back.
How much are Shakira Pyramids tickets, and are any left?
Standing tickets for Shakira at the Pyramids started at EGP 7,055 in the first sales wave, and the latest wave reported in late October 2026 is EGP 14,055 (about $280); VIP Standing and Golden Circle were reported sold out. Tickets are sold in waves, so the price rises each time a wave sells out.
| Ticket | Area | Status (late October 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Standing | General standing area, ages 6+ | Latest wave EGP 14,055 (first wave was EGP 7,055) |
| VIP Standing | Premium standing area, ages 10+ | Reported sold out |
| Golden Circle | Closest to the stage, ages 6+ | Reported sold out |
The only official seller is Ticket Egypt. Resale sites list the concert at well above face value, and there will be no tickets for sale at the gate. Paid tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged, and once you leave the concert area you cannot get back in. Check the official listing for the current wave before you pay, because these figures change quickly.
For a sold-out show at a famous venue, fake or duplicated tickets are the main risk. Buy only through Ticket Egypt or through a package that buys the ticket in your name, and never pay for a ticket that is sent to you as a screenshot.
What time does the Shakira concert start?
Ticket Egypt lists the event from 5 PM to 11 PM on Saturday 28 November, and several listings give 8 PM as the show time, but the organiser had not confirmed separate door and stage times as of late October 2026. The exact times will be on your ticket.
Plan to arrive early. Traffic on Haram Street, the main road to the pyramids, slows down from about 4 PM, and on concert night around 20,000 people will be heading the same way. Leaving your hotel in the late afternoon gives you time for the parking, the shuttle and the security queue.
How do you get to the Shakira concert at the Pyramids?
According to the promoter, concert-goers park at a meeting point near the Grand Egyptian Museum and ride official shuttle buses from there to the concert site, with around 600 buses running between the two. You can reach the meeting point by ride-hailing app, taxi, bus or private car, and entry to the concert itself is through a dedicated concert gate at the pyramids’ main gate, separate from the daytime ticket windows.
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Private driver to the meeting point | Visitors, families, groups | Agree where the driver waits after the show |
| Ride-hailing app or taxi | Getting there | Very high demand when 20,000 people leave at once |
| Own car | Cairo residents | Parking is at the meeting point, not at the stage |
The promoter expects the full trip from central Cairo, including the shuttle, to take around two hours, so the closer your hotel is to the pyramids, the easier the night. Ahmose Travel is an Egyptian tour operator based in Alexandria that arranges these trips directly, and in our Shakira concert packages your driver drops you at the meeting point and collects you there after the show.
Where should you stay for the Shakira concert?
The best place to stay for the Shakira concert is a hotel in the Giza pyramids area, because the drive to the meeting point is short and you avoid crossing Cairo before and after the show. Book the nights of 27 and 28 November at least, and add a night if you want to see the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in daylight.
| Area | Distance to the concert | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Giza, near the pyramids | Shortest | Concert night, and pyramid views from many hotels |
| Zamalek, Downtown, Garden City | Around 15 km, slow on concert night | Restaurants, the Nile and the rest of Cairo |
| New Cairo, Heliopolis, near the airport | The furthest | Late arrivals and early flights |
How can you turn the concert into a trip to Egypt?
The easiest way to turn the concert into a trip is to add a day at the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, and, if you have more time, a few days in Luxor and Aswan or on the Red Sea. The concert is on a Saturday night, so the Sunday is free for sightseeing.
Our Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids and Sphinx day tour covers the plateau in daylight with an Egyptologist guide and the treasures of Tutankhamun in the new museum, and it is built into our 3-night concert package. For longer trips, see our Egypt tour packages or Nile cruises.
| Question | On your own | Ahmose Travel concert package |

| Hotel | You compare and book it | Included, near the pyramids |
| Concert night | Ride-hailing there and back | Driver to the meeting point and back |

What should you bring to the concert?
Bring a physical photo ID, your ticket ready on your phone, and a warm layer: the desert plateau cools down quickly after dark in late November, even after a warm day.
- ID: carry a physical ID, not a photo of it on your phone.
- Layers: November evenings on the plateau are much cooler than Cairo afternoons; a light jacket is enough.
- Shoes: the concert area is on the plateau, so wear closed, comfortable shoes.
- Age: Standing and Golden Circle are for ages 6 and up, VIP Standing for ages 10 and up.
- Re-entry: there is none, so bring what you need for the whole evening.
