Aziz Maraka at E7kky: Fifth Settlement Guide
Aziz Maraka at E7kky Festival: what Egypt audiences should know
Aziz Maraka is set to headline Day 2 of E7kky Festival on Saturday, October 31, with the festival running across October 30 and 31 at Bermillan Mall in El Sheikh Zayed. According to the live listing on TicketsMarche, the event is being presented as a two-day lifestyle festival rather than just a concert, with food, activations, games and entertainment across both days, before Aziz Maraka closes the second day with a live set.
That means one important thing for readers in New Cairo and Fifth Settlement: if you are making the cross-city trip west for the show, it is worth treating it as a full outing, not only a quick concert run. From a New Cairo point of view, the smart move is to plan your meal in the east before leaving, or save your post-event hangout for when you are back in the Fifth Settlement.
Maraka, the Jordanian singer-songwriter known for his genre-blending “Razz” sound, has remained a familiar live name in Egypt this year. Cairo Opera House reported that he performed at the Citadel International Festival for Music and Singing on August 16, 2026, underlining how regularly he returns to Egypt’s concert calendar. When discussing the artist here, his verified Instagram handle is Aziz Maraka (@azizmaraka on Instagram).
What to expect at E7kky Festival on October 30–31
The clearest published breakdown so far comes from the official ticket page. Day 1, Friday, October 30, is billed as a Retro and 90s Party. Day 2, Saturday, October 31, is the day built around Aziz Maraka’s live performance. TicketsMarche describes the whole experience as two days of “inspiration, connection, lifestyle, food, activations and major entertainment.”
Published event information also states that the venue opens from 12:00 PM, with doors closing at 6:00 PM on both days. A separate event calendar listing places the Aziz Maraka performance window on October 31 from 8:00 PM to 11:30 PM, so visitors should keep an eye on day-of updates from the organizer in case timings are tightened or revised.
- Venue: Bermillan Mall, El Sheikh Zayed
- Festival dates: Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31
- Main music draw: Aziz Maraka on Day 2
- Format: lifestyle festival with food, games and brand activations
- Age policy: full ticket required for ages 12 and above; under-12s enter free
Bermillan’s own website describes the project as a mixed-use destination with an outdoor entertainment and fine-dining area, plus valet, taxi access, Wi-Fi and parking-related services. That supports the idea that this is not a bare concert ground but a more polished mall-based event setup.
Ticket options and whether the two-day pass is worth it
At the time of writing, the published prices on TicketsMarche are:
- Day 1 pass: EGP 550
- Day 2 pass (Aziz Maraka day): EGP 770
- Two-day pass: EGP 990
- Group Day 1 offer: 4 tickets for EGP 1,660
- Group two-day offer: 6 tickets for EGP 3,870
For most fans going specifically for Maraka, the math is straightforward: the two-day pass costs EGP 220 more than the Day 2-only ticket. If you are even mildly interested in the retro opening day, that bundled option makes more sense than buying Saturday only. On the other hand, if your plan is simply to catch Aziz Maraka and head back to New Cairo, the single-day Saturday ticket is the leaner choice.
Published entry rules also note that outside food and drinks are not allowed, while alcohol, sharp objects and professional cameras are prohibited. Tickets are sent as QR codes by email and scanned at the gate.
A Fifth Settlement strategy: eat before you go, or after you return
Because the festival is in Sheikh Zayed rather than New Cairo, this article’s local angle is less about dining next to the venue and more about how Fifth Settlement residents can plan the day intelligently. If you are leaving from the east side, there are two workable options: have an early meal in New Cairo before crossing the city, or come back after the show for a late dessert or coffee in the Fifth Settlement.
Best for a proper meal before heading out
Bake My Day in Fifth Settlement is one of the more straightforward pre-event options if you want one address that can handle coffee, bakery items and a fuller meal. The restaurant’s official site confirms its location in Fifth Settlement, New Cairo. For groups meeting before the drive, that convenience matters more than chasing something complicated.
Another practical New Cairo dining hub is District 5. District 5’s official dining directory lists a wide range of live operators in its Lifestyle Area and Campus, including Ovio, Pattini, Mo Bistro, Antakha, Howlin’ Birds, Mista, Lokali and Willow’s. If your group has mixed tastes, District 5 is one of the easiest east-side choices because everyone can agree on a meeting point without forcing a single cuisine.
Best for coffee or dessert after you are back in New Cairo
If you expect to return late and want a softer landing than a heavy meal, dessert and coffee make more sense. Süss confirms on its official site that it has a 5th Settlement branch at Leven Square Mall, and its listed operating hours run until 12:30 AM, which makes it useful for a post-concert sweet stop if traffic is kind.
For another casual coffee-first option, Regular Café describes itself as a specialty-coffee and dessert spot in New Cairo – Fifth Settlement. That makes it a more natural after-event choice for readers who want to decompress, talk through the set list and avoid ending the night on the road.
Why this event matters for local readers
Even though the festival itself is taking place in Sheikh Zayed, Aziz Maraka’s October 31 appearance is exactly the kind of event that matters to New Cairo and Fifth Settlement readers: a recognizable regional artist, a ticketed lifestyle festival, and a weekend plan that starts or ends in the east side’s restaurant-and-cafe scene.
For local audiences, the best version of this outing is simple: book the right ticket, leave enough time for cross-city traffic, eat in Fifth Settlement before departure if you want a relaxed start, and keep a dessert-or-coffee spot in reserve for when you are back. If you are going mainly for the music, Saturday is the key date. If you want the fuller social experience, the two-day pass is the smarter buy.
Either way, October 31, 2026 is the night to circle if you want to catch Aziz Maraka live near Cairo.
