E7kky Festival brings Aziz Maraka to Bermillan Mall in Zayed on 31 October

Sheikh Zayed gets a two-day festival this weekend. E7kky Festival 2026 takes over Bermillan Mall on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, with a 90s and retro party on the first day and a live concert by Jordanian singer Aziz Maraka on the second, according to the festival's ticket page.

The organisers describe it as two full days of talks, games, food, brand activations and entertainment rather than a single concert. Day 1 is billed as a "Retro and 90s Party Experience", with an optional casual retro dress code for anyone who wants to dig out the old shirts. Day 2 builds up to Aziz Maraka's set. Maraka's mix of Arabic pop, rock and jazz has made him a regular on Cairo's concert calendar, and this is one of the few chances to see him on the west side of the city this autumn.

Bermillan Mall sits in El Sheikh Zayed, where much of Cairo's weekend going-out has moved in the past few years, alongside Arkan Plaza and the Kamelizer spaces. A daytime festival there means families and groups can make an afternoon of it rather than a late night.

Passes are sold on Tickets Marche. The Day 1 retro party pass costs EGP 550, the Day 2 Aziz Maraka pass EGP 770 and the two-day pass EGP 990. There are group offers too: four Day 1 passes for EGP 1,660, and six two-day passes for EGP 3,870, which the seller says saves 35%. Doors open at 12pm and close at 6pm on both days, so plan to be inside by then. Everyone aged 12 and over needs a full ticket, and children under 12 go in free. No alcohol, sharp objects or professional cameras are allowed, and outside food and drinks are not permitted. Limited parking on site is free.

If you are going for the concert, the two-day pass costs only EGP 220 more than the Saturday pass on its own, so it is the better deal if the 90s party appeals. QR tickets arrive by email and are scanned at the gate. The concert's exact start time has not been published, so check the festival page on the day.
