Starlight Festival is EXIT’s new electronic-music event in Giza, pairing two main festival nights near the pyramids with opening and closing events across Cairo.
It introduces EXIT’s full multi-stage festival format to Egypt and gives the international electronic-music circuit a new destination-scale event in Giza.
The program is designed around a desert setting with the Great Pyramids as a distant monumental backdrop, while the protected archaeological site remains outside the festival footprint
As a 2026 debut
Starlight has no established recurring traditions yet
8–11 October 2026
Treat Giza and Cairo as separate movement zones and wait for the official festival gate or shuttle information before fixing the final transfer.
Light breathable clothing, secure shoes and a modest layer for transfers or non-festival public areas; check the final venue policy.
Use organizer-approved transport, carry water, protect hearing and avoid wandering toward restricted archaeological areas after dark.
Choose Giza for simpler access to the main nights or central Cairo for the wider trip, but budget substantial transfer time either way.
Official ticket link is available. Confirm access rules before booking.
