The performance marks the Lebanese star's first concert in the country since Egypt's Musicians Syndicate and Actors Syndicate lifted the ban preventing her from performing concerts and taking on acting gigs.

On August 13, Wehbe was banned following a decision by Egypt's Musicians Syndicate, which also suspended her work permits and referred her for an investigation.

This decision follows a request from Zaki for cooperation between the two syndicates on a contract dispute involving the singer-actress.

Wehbe landed in hot water after she signed a deal with Al Remas Film Production and failed to meet her contractual obligations, prompting the production company to file a complaint.

On August 14, the Lebanese star settled with the film production, and her suspension was lifted from the Actors Syndicate side.

Moreover, Wehbe breached an agreement with concert organizer Yasser El Hariry to perform a concert in the North Coast, despite receiving payment. 

He filed a complaint that Wehbe's team accepted a deposit for a performance she never attended. On August 14, the pair met at the Syndicate's legal affairs and reconciled, with the superstar returning the payment she received.
