Zamna Returns to Egypt’s Sinai Beach with Massive Lineup

Zamna Sharm El Sheikh is set to deliver an even more powerful experience this year. The festival has officially confirmed a significant phase two lineup expansion for its highly anticipated 2026 return to Egypt’s Sinai Desert. The latest announcement adds heavyweights Marco Carola, CamelPhat, and Gordo to a bill that already promised an unforgettable weekend.

These artists join an impressive roster that includes Sasha, John Digweed, Mëstiza, and SHIMZA. With the addition of Major League DJZ, organizers are positioning this as the festival’s most ambitious edition to date. The event is scheduled to run from November 20-22 in the Khoroum Valley, with capacity expanded to accommodate 20,000 daily visitors. Having originated in Tulum, Mexico, the Zamna brand has built a global reputation for placing world-class stages in unique, natural landscapes. This marks the brand’s second consecutive year in Sharm El Sheikh following a successful 2025 debut.

A Desert Setting Built for Techno

The Khoroum Valley, located just fifteen minutes from the Sharm El Sheikh city center and airport, is nestled deep within the mountains of South Sinai. The venue is centered around a striking granite amphitheater, which will serve as the backdrop for enhanced lighting and stage production. To ensure accessibility, shuttle transfers will operate from partner hotels throughout the city.

The lineup continues to grow with the inclusion of Brina Knauss, Asal b2b Sona, and the Zamna Sound System, alongside a strong contingent of regional talent including Dish Dash, La Familia, Baz and Haz, Mballa, and Minds of Lust. Notably, the bill also features the Egypt debut of Elvis Guetta, who has spent the past year making waves across the club circuits of Ibiza, Paris, and London.

With Marco Carola bringing his signature driving techno, CamelPhat providing melodic house soundscapes, and Gordo contributing a more aggressive, bass-heavy aesthetic, the festival offers a diverse sonic experience. General admission includes full three-day access to the valley, with VIP options available for those seeking a premium experience. The event maintains an 18+ age requirement and adheres to a strict Leave-No-Trace policy to protect the fragile desert ecosystem.
