Everything happens at Great Pyramids of Giza, in Cairo. Cairo · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.
Starlight Festival Nazlet El-Semman keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Thursday and closing on a Sunday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Cairo are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.
- First-ever multi-stage and multi-day festival at the Great Pyramids of Giza

See every ticket tier and travel option →Planning the trip, step by step
- 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Starlight Festival Nazlet El-Semman are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
- 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
- 3Reserve 5 nights rather than 4: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
- 4If you fly into Cairo International Airport, check the transfer time to Cairo before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
- 5Follow Starlight Festival Nazlet El-Semman on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
