Zamna Sharm El Sheikh is set to deliver an even more powerful experience for its 2026 return to Egypt’s Sinai Desert. The festival has officially confirmed a phase two lineup expansion, adding industry heavyweights Marco Carola, CamelPhat, and Gordo to an already impressive bill. These artists join previously announced acts including Sasha, John Digweed, Mëstiza, and SHIMZA, with Major League DJZ also joining the roster for what organizers are calling the festival’s biggest 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. Originally established in Tulum, Mexico, the Zamna brand has built a global reputation for placing its stages in unique, natural settings. This upcoming event marks the brand’s second residency in Sharm El Sheikh following a successful 2025 debut.
Additional artists joining the lineup include Brina Knauss, Asal b2b Sona, and the Zamna Sound System, alongside a strong contingent of regional talent such as Dish Dash, La Familia, Baz and Haz, Mballa, and Minds of Lust. Fans can also look forward to performances from Korolova, Mind Against, and MRAK, with further announcements expected.
A notable highlight of this year’s festival is the Egypt debut of Elvis Guetta. Having spent the past year refining his sound through house and disco sets across London, Paris, and Ibiza, his appearance at the festival marks a significant milestone in his career.
A Desert Setting Built for Techno
Located just fifteen minutes from the heart of Sharm El Sheikh and its airport, the Khoroum Valley is nestled within the mountains of South Sinai. The venue is defined by a natural granite amphitheater, which will serve as the backdrop for enhanced lighting and stage production. To ensure accessibility, organizers have arranged shuttle transfers from partner hotels throughout the city.
The musical curation offers a diverse range of sounds. Marco Carola brings his signature driving, groove-heavy techno, while the melodic house stylings of CamelPhat and the aggressive, bass-forward approach of Gordo provide a dynamic contrast. The inclusion of Major League DJZ further rounds out the experience with their distinct Afro-house sound.
General admission tickets provide full three-day access to the valley, with VIP tables and booths available for those seeking a premium experience. The event maintains an 18+ age restriction, and attendees are reminded that the Khoroum Valley operates under a strict Leave-No-Trace policy to protect the local desert ecosystem.
