Yanni’s much anticipated ‘Dream Concert’ by the Pyramids follows a number of concerts that were performed on the premises of world famous sites including the Taj Mahal in India, the Forbidden City in China, the Kremlin in Moscow, El Morro Castle in Puerto Rico, the ancient city Byblos in Lebanon, the Carthage in Tunisia and Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
