There is something about coffee that transcends the simple act of drinking it — a ritual, a culture, a spark that brings people together. This year, Cairo's passion for coffee is being taken to a whole new level with the highly anticipated Egypt Coffee Festival. On May 10, District5 Townhall by Kamelizer will transform into a caffeine lover's dream, hosting a day packed with world-class brews, renowned baristas, live music, food experiences, and immersive workshops. Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or just beginning your coffee journey, this event sets the stage for a celebration unlike any other.
Sip, Savour, Repeat: What Awaits at the Egypt Coffee Festival
The Egypt Coffee Festival promises a full sensory experience beyond just sipping great coffee. Attendees will find themselves immersed in barista competitions, exclusive roaster villages, latte art showcases, and even a unique "coffee speed dating" event. Alongside the endless coffee offerings, guests can indulge in a curated brunch experience and explore the Coffee & Food Zone, which is perfectly designed to satisfy every craving and complement every cup.
Brewmasters and Game-Changers
This year's lineup brings some of the most respected names in the coffee world to Cairo. Klaus Thomsen, co-founder of Denmark's legendary Coffee Collective, will share his expertise alongside Hussein Bahgat, founder and managing director of Egypt's own Ritual Coffee Co. World Brewers Cup Champion, Stefanos Domatiotis, will also be taking the stage. With specialised workshops, expert panels, and wellness-focused sessions, the Egypt Coffee Festival is as much an educational journey as a flavourful one.
Beyond the Beans: Brunch, Live Music, and Feel-Good Vibes
