The management of Khorfakkan Amphitheatre, an affiliate of Sharjah Government Media Bureau, also announced the postponement of the Majid Al Mohandes and Dalia Mubarak concert, which was to be held on October 29, to January 14, 2022, due to personal commitments of Al Mohandes.

Abdullah Al-Ruwaished and Assala Nasri, two of the brightest stars of Arabic music, will treat music lovers to a beautiful symphony of their most popular songs that have immortalised their name in the world of Gulf-Arab culture.
Ambassador of Gulf Song
Al-Ruwaished, called the ambassador of the Gulf song, will treat the audience to his popular numbers such as as “Dunia Al-Wala”, “Who forgot you, forget him”, “I follow my heart”, and “There is no one”.
Al-Ruwaished released his first song in 1980, entitled “Ana Sahran”, and it was composed by his late brother Muhammad Al-Ruwaished. He added a new color of singing along with a group of young artists at the time, including Nabil Shuail. "Elamni Aleik", "By Any", and "Hal Al-Hawa" are among the most prominent songs of the eighties.
Assala, known for her luxurious and sensuous voice, will present a bouquet of her most loved songs that took her to the heights of stardom, such as "Rouh and Rouh", "Uqba", "May the letter", "Love me", and "Do not be afraid of Time", and other works.
Authentic voice of Arab music
Assala became famous in the Arab world after the release of her song "I hear the echo of your voice" in 1991. Her voice is distinguished by its strong tone that leaves a deep impact on the audience. She has participated in a number of Arab and international festivals and featured in countless television programmes.
