Emirati singer Hussain Al Jassmi will perform for the first time at the ancient city of Petra in Jordan on November 21, 2026. The concert will take place at the Nabataean Cultural Village, also known as the Petra Arena, and is being organised by the Friends of Jordan Festivals in cooperation with the Jordan Tourism Board.
Al Jassmi has maintained a busy schedule throughout 2026, releasing several new songs with various composers and lyricists, and has recently performed at regional festivals including Laylat Omar in Kuwait. His upcoming Petra performance, staged at one of the world's seven wonders and one of the region's most significant tourist destinations, is expected to draw strong interest from fans of Arabic music across the region.
Hosting concerts at historic and World Heritage sites has become an increasingly popular trend in the region in recent years, as organisers look to pair live performances with the dramatic backdrop of ancient landmarks to create a distinctive experience for audiences. Organisers have not yet announced ticket pricing or sales details for the Petra show.
Further details about the setlist, possible special guests and ticket sales are expected to be released closer to the event date. The concert forms part of a broader regional push to boost cultural and arts tourism by bringing well-known Arab artists to historic and iconic venues, further cementing Petra's status as a destination for both heritage tourism and large-scale live entertainment.
