Egypt events 2026–2027: Cairo’s exhibition calendar

This guide to Egypt events 2026–2027 gathers the trade shows, conferences, festivals and cultural dates that brands in Egypt plan around. Most Cairo exhibitions take place at the Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC) in New Cairo, so EIEC events form the backbone of the calendar, from energy and technology to food, construction and healthcare. Cairo Opera House in Zamalek hosts film and music festivals, the Giza Pyramids plateau stages art and sport, and El Gouna and Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea draw film, sport and music audiences. The busiest months are October to December, with a second wave of trade shows from March to June and again in September.

The listings cover energy and petroleum, technology and ICT, food and hospitality, real estate and construction, healthcare and pharma, defence, design, film and sport. Key dates include Cairo ICT 2026, Egypt Energy 2026, Food Africa 2026, EGYPES 2027 and the Cairo International Film Festival 2026. In Egypt, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp carry most event conversation, so plan Arabic-first content that is easy to share. Before the show, confirm your shot list, stand access and approvals. On the day, combine stand photography, speaker and visitor interviews and short vertical videos, with edited photos and reels ready for same-day posting. After the event, use a highlight film and photo library for follow-up campaigns, sales decks and next year’s bookings. Our Cairo team covers events in Cairo in person, and shoots in other governorates are arranged per project. See our event photography and videography in Cairo service for details.

To use the calendar, filter by sector or month, open each event for its dates, venue and official organiser link, and treat editions marked TBC as provisional. Shortlist the shows your customers attend and plan content deadlines backwards from opening day. For audience behaviour and platform trends, read our Egypt market insights.
