Zamna Festival Sharm El Sheikh 2026: Desert, Music, Magic
Zamna Festival is landing in Sharm El Sheikh this November — and it’s the kind of event that puts a destination on the global map.
For three nights, from November 20–22, 2026, the natural sandstone amphitheater of Khoroum Valley (Wadi Al-Khorom) in South Sinai will host one of the world’s most celebrated electronic music brands. If you’re in Hurghada, Sahl Hasheesh, or anywhere along the Red Sea coast, this is a short drive — and a world-class experience.
What Is Zamna Festival?
Zamna is not just a music event. It’s a global destination festival born in the jungles of Tulum, Mexico in 2017, named after the Mayan concept of transformation. Since then, it has expanded to Bali, Ibiza, Dubai, Miami, Barcelona, and now Egypt, drawing attendees from over 110 nationalities.
The brand’s Egyptian debut was at the Great Pyramids of Giza in April 2025 — a two-day event that attracted 7,500 guests, with a remarkable 92% international audience. Headliners included Argy, CamelPhat, and Korolova, and the event featured pre-parties, wellness brunches, and guided excursions around Cairo.
Now, Zamna returns to Egypt for its second edition, this time in the raw beauty of the Sinai desert.
Khoroum Valley: The Venue
Khoroum Valley is a natural sandstone amphitheater nestled in the South Sinai mountain range, approximately 15 minutes from Sharm El Sheikh city center and International Airport (SSH). The venue combines dramatic desert acoustics with world-class production:
- Gourmet dining by local and international kitchens, served from sunset to dawn
- Premium bars across the valley floor
- Fully cashless environment — cards and digital payments only
- Continuous shuttle service from partner hotels in Sharm El Sheikh (included with all tickets)
- Multiple access tiers: General Access, VIP, Backstage, and Table Experience
Imagine standing in a desert canyon as the sun sets behind layered rock formations, then watching world-class DJs perform under a canopy of desert stars. That’s the Zamna promise.
2026 Lineup: Phase 1 Announced
The first wave of headliners has been confirmed:
- ARTBAT — The Ukrainian duo ranked #2 globally in 2025, known for their cinematic melodic techno that perfectly complements vast desert landscapes
- Mind Against — Italian techno duo whose hypnotic, atmospheric sets have become a signature of the global festival circuit
- MRAK — Solo project of one-half of Tale of Us, delivering deep, transcendent melodic journeys
With 15+ artists expected across multiple stages, the full lineup will be revealed through the official Zamna website following pre-registration.
Why This Matters for the Red Sea Region
Events like Zamna are transformative for destinations. When the Giza edition drew 92% international visitors, it wasn’t just a music festival — it was a global tourism showcase for Egypt. The Sharm El Sheikh edition does the same for the Red Sea coast.
For investors and property owners in Hurghada, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi, and El Gouna, this signals:
- Increased international visibility — Zamna brings media coverage, social media buzz, and influencer attention from 110+ countries
- Demand for accommodation — Short-term rental demand spikes around major events, with guests willing to pay premium rates
- Year-round tourism — November is shoulder season; festivals like this extend the high season and prove the Red Sea’s appeal beyond winter sun
- Lifestyle positioning — MAMO Property sells not just apartments, but a lifestyle. Having a world-class music festival 15 minutes from your investment reinforces that value proposition
