That is so awesome! I'm still waiting on Waleed's visa in hand but I have a very good feeling he's coming soon since 2 others already got their visas like they said. Please, please, please let him come in October I want to book the tickets now too!

Waleed loves Khaled too!

We just got back from 4 days in Vegas - it was wonderful. I only did a little bit of gambling - but we're Catholic and we'll raffle anything. hehe...Aside from that, I saw the signs for the Sahra event. It looked awesome! We stayed at the Monte Carlo (nice but rooms need updating). I will say though that I never saw so many fake hooters in my life!!! And I live in Florida, so that says lots. I hope you all have an awesome time...wish we could go again. <sigh>

I'm sure! It's very very hot here still so I'm sure Vegas will give you the same weather... ughh. I could never lose weight in Vegas! LOL Toooo many good places to eat!

Hey, where will you all be staying? the MGM Grand hotel (i think that's what it's called).

Yes. It's pretty nice. I love Paris and Cesars but the concert is at MGM so it seems best to be at the same place.

However, if you research online many of the other hotels are having great deals now...like Luxor, Bally's and a few others. I was shocked at cheap rates even for weekends.

Mom and I were searching online tonight and we're thinking to book a room at Excalibur because of the rates and it's across the street from the MGM but my only question is how does this affect ticket prices for the concert? We're thinking the cheapest are $65 a piece with tax but not sure. I have to buy my plane tickets now to get good rates so I'm going with Southwest since if we have to cancel they credit us and I can use it later for up to a year. After looking at room prices I'm looking at staying from Nov. 20th-Nov 24th with us flying back that Tuesday.

Night and day I'm listening to Wust el Balad and I just found this video where Assala, one of the main stars at this upcoming concert, is singing Wust el Balad's song Anntika on stage with them so I think this has to be the concert in November Adham was talking about! Assala must have invited them! Waleed hasn't been able to reach Adham still. He guesses because of Ramadan being a busy month for them because they are requested (and all singers actually) to play after breakfast in what they call Ramadanian tents, which is like open shows in hotels and resorts where people (mostly rich) go to spend their time after breakfast till dawn. He said last Ramadan there he remembers they were playing daily in the tent of Semiramis Hotel in City Stars.

Love this video if it's anything like the preview we're going to get at the concert!

Ok! Found the site to buy tickets if you stay somewhere else other than MGM. Grand Garden Arena

We'll be in the $52.50 section.

Mom says if we stay at the MGM we get better tickets and probably two per room.

The SAHRA FEATURING KHALED, ASSALA NASRI & RIDA AL ABDULLA event is at the bottom of the page if you scroll down.

Hey Annie when you book MGM will you ask them what section their tickets are in for us please? Then we might know if it's a better deal or not to stay there or somewhere else.
