Location
Musical talent runs deep within Omar Khairat; raised by a musical family in Cairo, Omar was exposed to music since birth. His uncle, Abu Bakr Khairat, established the famous Cairo Conservatoire. Joining his uncle's legacy, Omar studied piano under the Italian Maestro Vincenzo Carro and continued his theory and composition studies with Trinity College in England. Omar Khairat's great career has won him over 20 awards for his various works. From rearranging old classics, such as songs from Um Kulthoum, to creating original pieces, Omar Khairat has developed his own signature style of composing.
AlUla was excited to welcome Omar Khairat to the stage for a third time. His awe-inspiring compositions brought a fresh take on Saudi classical music to the audience's delight!
