Zamna unveils phase 2 lineup for 2026 return to Sharm El Sheikh’s Sinai desert with Marco Carola, Gordo, Camelphat, Elvis Guetta and more

by

Zamna has confirmed a major expansion to its Sharm El Sheikh lineup, with techno heavyweights Marco Carola and CamelPhat, and Gordo’s bass-driven house and techno, joining the bill for the festival’s return to the Sinai Desert from 20th–22nd November. 

The additions bring the 2026 edition to its biggest capacity yet at 20,000 daily visitors, as Zamna continues to build out its granite-amphitheatre setting in Egypt’s Khoroum Valley.

Also joining are Major League DJZ, Brina Knauss, Asal b2b, Sona, Zamna Sound System, and Elvis Guetta – son of David Guetta, making his Egypt debut – Dish Dash, La Familia, Baz and Haz, Mballa and Minds of Lust, completing a lineup that already includes Sasha & John Digweed, Korolova, Mind Against, MRAK, Mëstiza and SHIMZA, with special guests to be announced. 

Following its debut in 2025, Zamna Sharm El Sheikh returns with expanded production, set against the valley’s striking rock formations in Khoroum Valley, just fifteen minutes from Sharm El Sheikh’s city centre and international airport. The natural venue space will again be transformed after dark with immersive lighting and stage production across the three-day event. Shuttle transfers run from partner hotels throughout the city, putting the desert stage within easy reach of any resort in Sharm. 

Carola brings his signature driving groove to the desert setting, while CamelPhat’s fusion of house and emotive melodies and Gordo’s bold, bassy techno round out the headline additions. South Africa’s Major League DJZ bring their Afro-house sound to the bill, while Elvis Guetta joins with his own house and disco sound, alongside Brina Knauss, Asal b2b Sona, Zamna Sound System and regional talents Dish Dash, La Familia, Baz and Haz, Mballa and Minds of Lust.

General Admission grants full three-day access to Khoroum Valley, with VIP booths and tables available on request. Entry is restricted to guests aged 18 and over, with valid photo ID required at the gate.

Zamna is set to return to Egypt’s Khoroum Valley from the 20th – 22nd November, expanding the desert festival experience to a 20,000-capacity event. Set within one of the Middle East’s most dramatic natural landscapes, the festival will feature a first wave lineup including Sasha, John Digweed, Mind Against, Korolova, MRAK, Mëstiza and SHIMZA.

Originating in Tulum, Mexico, Zamna has become one of the world’s leading destination electronic music brands, staging immersive festivals in extraordinary natural locations across the globe. Its Egyptian edition takes place at Khoroum Valley, just outside Sharm El Sheikh, where a natural amphitheatre framed by towering granite rock formations creates one of the region’s most spectacular festival settings. By day, the landscape offers hiking trails and Bedouin camps; after dark, it transforms into an open-air venue where lighting and production interact with the surrounding landscape. Following Zamna’s debut there in 2025, Khoroum Valley is rapidly emerging as one of the Middle East’s most distinctive electronic music destinations.

Leading the lineup for the second edition, Sasha and John Digweed reunite in the desert, bringing the progressive house sound they helped define in the 1990s. They are joined by Korolova, Mind Against, MRAK, Mëstiza and SHIMZA, with further artists to be announced in the coming weeks.

Building on the success of its inaugural edition, Zamna Khoroum Valley returns with increased capacity, expanded production and a wider international lineup, further cementing its place as one of the Middle East’s standout electronic music experiences.

Amr Ismail of Khoroum Valley said: “From the beginning, we knew Khoroum Valley was a special place for Zamna. Last year’s debut proved just how powerful that combination could be. For 2026, we’re raising the bar again with more artists, more production and an even more immersive experience. This is another big step in the journey, and we’re excited to share it with everyone.”

As well as General Admission, VIP tickets are available, offering exclusive viewing areas, VIP bars, lounges and premium restrooms, alongside access to all general festival zones.
