The second edition will expand across six experiential grounds covering Coffee & Craft, Food &

Beverage, Design & Lifestyle, Education & Knowledge, Business & Industry, and Community &

Entertainment, offering visitors opportunities to discover different aspects of coffee culture.

“One of the things I love most about coffee is how it brings people together naturally. There’s an entire

culture around it that’s creative, social, and genuinely fun. With the second edition of Egypt Coffee

Festival, we want to celebrate that side of the industry and create a space where people can discover

new experiences, meet the people behind their favourite brands, and connect over something we all

love,” said Hanan Abdel Meguid, Co-Founder of Egypt Coffee Festival and CEO of Kamelizer

Spaces.

Visitors can also look forward to two barista competitions: the Home Barista Competition, organized

by The Community Bundle, and “Crush the Rush,” presented by La Marzocco. Both competitions will

spotlight the skills, creativity, and craftsmanship involved in coffee preparation while celebrating the

people behind the cup.

Beyond coffee in the traditional sense, the festival will feature food and beverage tastings, giveaways,

and interactive brand activations, including experiences by The Skin Care Addict by The Hair Addict in

collaboration with Indulge, and Samir & Aly. The programme will also include a community morning run organized by Run Qairo on Saturday,
