You’re surrounded by the marvellous Red Sea Mountains as you rest your head on Sinai’s sandy shores at sunset. The salty sea breeze clears up your airways, and a spectacular view of the crystal waters of Gulf of Aqaba serves you with an unbeatable horizon. Pumping music echoes in the background of your picture-perfect scenery… and then, you realise that you have been daydreaming.

You’re still stuck somewhere in the capital with a 9-5 routine, aren’t you?

You have two choices; either keep fantasising, or to book yourself a spot at Groove Nest Festival that is set to take over the city of Nuweiba with a three-day shindig. If you continue with the latter, you’ll be partying your way through one chill weekend at Coral Resort Nuweiba, accompanied by over 20 artists on the bill.

In alphabetical order, Groove Nest features a unbelievable range of visiting and local artists including A-Squared, Aaryon, AMONITA, Ashmawy, AYN, Bebetta, DOU b2b STZ, Fulltone, Hot Oasis, Karim Yousry, Karmon, Kasper Koman, Misty, Monkey Safari, Omar Ezz, Ouzo b2b Sebzz, Quivver, Roo, Shunus, Super Flu, Tunnelvisions, Zio, Z0ne+, and more!

The festival kicks off on Thursday, the 6^th of February at 6:00 PM, runs for 12 hours straight, takes a little break, and repeats for two more rounds. This means that you’ll be grooving from sunset to sunrise three nights in a row, until the festival ends on Sunday, the 9^th of February at 6:00 AM, which will leave you with a yearning desire to continue your adventure and ditch going home for good.
