Background

In May 2003 Sarah released her Middle East-oriented album Harem . To promote it together with audiovisual project "Harem – A Desert Fantasy" Brightman in collaboration with Clear Channel Entertainment decided to create a new tour, that will be different from the previous La Luna World Tour. Promoters wanted to turn show from theater audiences to a more arena-like. Promotion for the tour included many billboards and ads in theaters and corresponding media because some of Sarah's fans "haven't experienced arena shows very well". The European leg of the tour was initially planned for April and May but was postponed to the autumn of the same year due to logistical difficulties.
