American music diva Mariah Carey will perform for the first time in Tunisia in July. Two concerts are scheduled in El Menzeh Olympic Stadium, in the Tunisian capital Tunis, July 22nd and July 24th, 2006.

The two Mariah Carey concerts are expected to be sell-out performances; especially that they will take place during Tunisia’s high tourism season. Heir to ancient Carthage, Tunisia attracts, ever year, more than five million tourists who are drawn to the country’s beaches, archaeological sites and exotic desert landscapes.

Mariah Carey is enjoying one of the most successful years of her career. Her album "The Emancipation Of Mimi" generated three Grammy awards. As the biggest-selling album of 2005, it has sold over 9 million units worldwide to date.

A press conference on the Mariah Carey concerts is scheduled in Tunis on Thursday June 8, 2006 at 10:00am.
