About the event

What is Cairo Jazz Festival?

Cairo Jazz Festival has run since 2009 and is one of the city's best-known music events. The 2026 programme features musicians from Egypt, Denmark, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland, with concerts complemented by workshops, Jazz Talks, film screenings and special experiences. Evening sessions run from 18:00 to 22:00. The organisers describe the 2026 edition as three days of music, culture, creativity and connection for audiences in Cairo and Alexandria.

Audiences are young professionals, students, musicians, expatriates and diplomats, making the festival a natural fit for lifestyle and cultural brands. Sponsors and embassies taking part benefit from live performance photography, short video highlights and social posts that capture the atmosphere. The festival's international line-up and intimate venues create strong visual material, from on-stage moments to audience reactions. Embassies, cultural institutes and sponsors can use professionally captured clips and images to document their support and share it with followers during and after the three evenings.
