About the event

What is Cairo Design Week?

Cairo Design Week brings together architects, interior and product designers, craftspeople, galleries and brands across three of Cairo's most characterful districts. The fourth edition expands opportunities for international participants and introduces larger-scale public installations and city-wide activations, positioning Cairo as an emerging regional design capital. The festival spreads across galleries, heritage buildings and public spaces, encouraging visitors to move between neighbourhoods. Exhibitions, talks, workshops and pop-ups run throughout the ten days, from 19 to 28 November 2026.

Visitors include designers, architects, developers, collectors, students and lifestyle media, alongside brands launching collections or activations. Because the programme is spread across many venues, participants benefit from photography and video that document installations and drive social engagement. The festival is closely followed by regional design and lifestyle media, as well as architects and developers looking for new talent and suppliers. Participating brands and studios can use professional imagery and short films to present their work to clients, press and award juries long after the festival closes.
