From Broadway to the Egyptian Museum… the story of Sherine Ahmed Tarek, which caught attention at the historic opening

Sherine was born in Alexandria in 1993, and traveled to the United States at an early age because of the work of her father, Tariq Ahmed, who owns a jewelry store in the American state of Maryland. She initially studied law and social justice, but her passion for art led her to take specialized lessons in singing, dancing and acting.

Sherine began her artistic career as a singer on cruise ships, before moving to the world of Broadway theater in New York. Her choice to play the role of Eliza Doolittle in the international play “My Fair Lady” marked a decisive turning point in her career, making her the first Egyptian artist to play the lead role in a Broadway production.

Sherine comes from a family that combines Egyptian heritage and American culture, as her mother, Sandra, works as an English teacher and specializes in the field of human rights, while her father maintained his connection to Egypt through his work in the jewelry trade.

Sherine’s participation in the opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum was the culmination of a distinguished artistic career, as she presented art that embodies the harmony between ancient Egyptian heritage and contemporary creativity, in a huge celebration that witnessed a drone light show depicting the ancient Egyptian gods and the pyramids in the sky of Giza.
