In statements to MENA, Osman noted that the tickets run out and all seats had been booked, a matter which proves the strong desire of tourists to watch such international shows in Egypt.

"Opera Aida is not only a unique art show, but it also gives a big push to the Egyptian economy and tourism and is a great opportunity to attract art tourism through organizing more similar shows in Luxor's temples during the winter season," Osman stated.
