Amira, Mofu & Algopack at Cairo Jazz Club 610 (Cairo)

Love Night at AHM Club (Sahel)

What you will love about this event, other than the banging music, is the dress code. You are asked to dress as extra and as out there as you can, and we can’t wait to see all the outfits that will be worn that night. Marc Wahba and Mostafa Masry will be playing b2b and Wassim Bou will be on warm up duty.

Friday 

El Esseily at Fouka Bay (Sahel)

Are you really in a relationship if you don’t have a video of yourself and your partner pointing at each other as Esseily’s song “Fe Hetta Tanya” is being played in the background? If you don’t, then here’s a chance to get corny while Esseily sings live and you film all videos that prove to your followers that you are definitely in love.

Brush it at Sahel 

Do you think you have met the love of your life this summer or is it just another summer fling? This isn’t just an event for couples, but we highly recommend this activity for people who are trying to bond, yet chill at the same time by the beach. Put your art skills to the test and go paint and sip the night away.

El Gamila w El Wahsh at Le Marquee CFC (Cairo)

If you or your daughter, like many others, thinks that Belle is the superior Disney princess, then this is the event your family needs to head to this weekend. This weekend, Le Marquee is hosting an Egyptian adaptation of Beauty and the Beast that we never knew we needed. Let’s just say that everything Disney related is twice as funny when dubbed in Egyptian Arabic, and a full on musical will certainly keep us entertained.
