The Abdel Halim Hafez Hologram event marks the first time this innovative technology has been used to bring the much-loved singer and his songs to life in front of an audience.

The event is being staged by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment in cooperation with New Dimension Productions (NDP) and MBC Group.

Through NDP’s use of hologram technology and artificial intelligence to create a high-resolution 3D model that matches the artist’s face and body movements audiences will be able to watch the iconic star.

NDP extracted the artist's voice over five months to produce vocals of the highest quality, which will be supported by a live 28-person band for the show’s audio content,

Hailed as one of the greatest Egyptian musicians, along with Umm Kulthum, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Mohamed Fawzi and Shadia, Abdel Halim Hafez was a iconic singer and actor whose music and films were adored by fans across the region and beyond.
