Returning to Khoroum Valley for three nights, Zamna brings an international electronic music lineup to one of Sharm El-Sheikh’s most distinctive natural settings.
Sharm El-Sheikh is preparing for three nights of electronic music as Zamna Festival returns to Egypt on November 20–22, 2026. Set within Khoroum Valley, the festival brings together international DJs, immersive production, and the landscapes of South Sinai.
Following its debut in Sharm El-Sheikh in 2025, the event enters its second edition with an expanded three-day program. Its return also reflects the growing appeal of destination-led music experiences, where the setting becomes part of the attraction.
Rather than taking place inside a conventional concert venue, Zamna unfolds in a natural sandstone amphitheatre surrounded by the Sinai mountains. The location creates a distinctive backdrop for its combination of electronic music, large-scale production, and open-air performances.
An international lineup across three nights
The 2026 program brings together established names from different corners of electronic music. The confirmed lineup includes CamelPhat, Marco Carola, Sasha and John Digweed, Gordo, Korolova, Mind Against, and Shimza.
Other participating artists include Major League DJz, Mëstiza, Dish Dash, Brina Knauss, Elvis Guetta, MRAK, and SONA. The program also features BAZ AND HAZ, Asal B2B Brina Knauss, La Familia, Mballa, Minds of Lust, and ZSS.
The selection brings together melodic house and techno, Afro house, and other electronic sounds. It also connects artists with different international audiences, giving the festival a broader musical identity.
Special guests are still to be announced, according to the official Khoroum Valley program.
Khoroum Valley becomes part of the experience
The venue plays an important role in Zamna’s identity. Khoroum Valley is a natural sandstone amphitheatre in South Sinai, offering open desert views and a setting surrounded by mountains.
Its location also makes it accessible to visitors staying in Sharm El-Sheikh. The festival organizers place it approximately 15–20 minutes from Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport.
The venue’s design allows the festival to combine music with its natural surroundings. Rather than separating the performance from the destination, Zamna uses the landscape as part of its visual and atmospheric experience.
The program runs across three nights, with gates opening at 8:30 PM and performances continuing until sunrise. Organizers will announce individual set times closer to the event.
Turning a music festival into a destination escape
Zamna’s return also creates an opportunity for visitors to experience Sharm El-Sheikh beyond the festival itself.
The destination offers access to the Red Sea, diving, beaches, boat trips, and desert experiences. November also provides a seasonal opportunity to combine evening performances with daytime activities.
The organizers are promoting the event as a wider travel experience, encouraging international visitors to extend their stays. Partner accommodation options include several Sharm El-Sheikh resorts, with transport information available through the festival’s official channels.
This approach reflects a wider interest in destination festivals. Music becomes the reason to travel, while the surrounding destination adds another dimension to the experience.
What to know before attending
Zamna Sharm El-Sheikh takes place from November 20 to 22 at Khoroum Valley. The event is restricted to guests aged 18 and above.
Tickets include three-day general admission, VIP standing, and backstage standing options. Each ticket is personalised, and the organizers state that tickets are non-refundable except if the festival is cancelled without rescheduled dates.
With its international lineup and distinctive Sinai setting, Zamna returns with an experience that brings together electronic music and destination travel. For Sharm El-Sheikh, it also adds another international event to the city’s growing entertainment calendar.
