Conventional wisdom has it that excitons in semiconductors become unstable at high densities against dissociation into electrons and holes. Here, we show that an ultrahigh-density 2D electron-hole magneto-plasma emits light as a gas of non-interacting magneto-excitons. We observe a series of stimulated emission lines whose magnetic field dependence remains excitonic even at densities beyond 10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$. The extremely robust excitonic character of these lines is in contrast to their renormalized energies and masses indicating strong many-body interactions and extending the concept of `hidden symmetry' of 2D magneto-excitons expected only in the high magnetic field limit. This unusual stability of high-density excitons is promising for further studies of bosonic many-body physics in solids at quantum degenerate densities.
