Lebanese-Colombian superstar Shakira will take her historic world tour "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" to Egypt's Great Pyramids of Giza on April 7, where she is set to return after nearly 20 years.
The show marks a historic homecoming for the 48-year-old superstar, who performed last at the archaeological wonder in 2007.
Shakira took to social media on Wednesday to promote her upcoming concert at the iconic landscape.
In a heartfelt message, she described performing at the ancient pyramids as “a dream come true,” expressing deep excitement and gratitude.
"To come back to perform at the pyramids of Egypt is a dream come true and one of the things I wished the most since the beginning of this tour! I can't wait to see you all at Giza," she said.
Beyond the announcement itself, Shakira captured attention by addressing her Arab audience in Arabic on Instagram. Her decision to communicate in Arabic reflects both cultural respect and dedication to connecting directly with her Arabic-speaking fans.
Tickets for the Egypt show start at EGP 6,055 for Standing Wave VIP Standing Early Bird 1 is sold at 9,055, and Golden Circle Wave 1 is available for EGP 12,555.
The Egypt concert is part of a broader April schedule that takes Shakira across the Middle East and Asia.
Shakira's regional leg launches on March 28 in Jordan, followed by a stop in Qatar on April 1, Abu Dhabi on April 4, Egypt on April 7, Mumbai on April 10, New Delhi on April 15, wrapping up with a show in Saudi Arabia on April 19.
"Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" began in March 2025 and has included 31 dates in various cities, 12 of them at the capital’s Estadio GNP Seguros.
The trek set a Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing tour by a Hispanic artist of all time, grossing a staggering $421.6 million and selling 3.3 million tickets across 86 reported shows.
The record was previously set by the Luis Miguel Tour from 2023 to 2024, with $409.5 million.
Shakira launched the trek on February 11, 2025, with back-to-back shows in Rio de Janeiro. She is set to make stops in Central and South America throughout the fall and winter.
Meanwhile, North American fans have one festival appearance in New York on September 27, before the "Whenever, Wherever" singer is set to take her final bow on the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour in Buenos Aires on December 9.
The tour is Shakira's first headlining world tour since her successful "El Dorado World Tour" in 2018.
“The music industry has grown so much compared to what it was when I started my career. Breaking this record is a new milestone for me, considering that there are so many great artists who historically have toured in Latin America & Spain,” Shakira said in a statement.
She added, “After a 30-year career, that took so much effort and met so many challenges, to be living this amazing moment is unbelievable. I can only be grateful for the loyalty and passion of my fans, who give meaning to everything I do, and without them, none of this would be happening. Without a doubt, they are the best fans in the world.”
Adding momentum to the milestone moment, Shakira has also been named among the nominees for the 2026 class of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The announcement was made on February 25 via the organization’s official website.
She joins a diverse lineup of influential artists spanning multiple genres. Other nominees include The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Oasis, Lauryn Hill, Billy Idol, INXS, Iron Maiden, Pink, Sade, Joy Division, New Order, Luther Vandross, Melissa Etheridge, New Edition, and Wu-Tang Clan.
The nomination underscores Shakira’s lasting influence across the pop, Latin, rock, and global music markets.
With a career spanning more than three decades, record-breaking album sales, and cross-cultural collaborations, her presence on the ballot signals recognition beyond chart performance.
As April 7 approaches, anticipation continues to build around what promises to be a visually striking and culturally significant performance. With renewed energy, multilingual outreach, and international acclaim, Shakira’s Egypt concert is positioned to become one of the defining moments of her current tour cycle.
