Sherine’s New Alamein comeback: where to stay and eat
Sherine Abdel Wahab’s North Coast return is the headline event of 7 August
Sherine Abdel Wahab is set to perform on Friday, 7 August 2026 on Egypt’s North Coast, with multiple Egyptian outlets and Ahram Online reporting the concert as a major summer comeback show in Porto Golf Alamein. Ahram Online’s July 2026 North Coast music programme listed Sherine on 7 August at 10pm in New Alamein, while Egyptian coverage from Al Masry Al Youm and Akhbar Al Youm described the night as one of the most anticipated concerts of the season and part of the Porto Golf Summer Festival. Early ticket waves also sold quickly, with Akhbar Al Youm reporting that initial batches were exhausted and Al Masry Al Youm reporting lounge packages reaching EGP 500,000 for 10 guests in later sales phases.
For Egypt-based readers planning the trip, the real question is not only whether to go, but how to turn the concert into a complete New Alamein night out: where to sleep without a brutal late drive, where to eat before the show, and where to stretch the evening afterward.
First, choose your base wisely
If your priority is convenience, the obvious move is to stay as close as possible to Porto Golf. The Porto Golf complex describes itself as being in the heart of New Alamein City, and Porto Hotels also lists Porto Golf Hotel Apartments in the Alamein area. That makes it the most practical option for anyone who wants to minimise post-concert traffic and be minutes from the venue rather than crawling back along the coast after midnight.
If you want a more polished resort stay and are willing to be a short drive away, Rixos Premium Alamein (@rixospremiumalamein on Instagram) is one of the strongest luxury addresses in the city itself. The resort lists its address on Kilo 107 North Coastal Road, New City Alamein, with beachfront rooms and several dining venues. It is the kind of stay that suits concertgoers treating Sherine’s night as a proper summer weekend rather than a one-evening dash.
Further east, Al Alamein Hotel (@alalameinhotel on Instagram) in Marassi, Sidi Abd El Rahman, Kilo 129 remains one of the North Coast’s classic higher-end stays. The hotel lists 189 rooms and direct access to Marassi’s wider amenities, including the marina, restaurants and leisure facilities. It is not the nearest base to Porto Golf, but it is ideal if you want a full Marassi experience around the concert date.
Another upscale option in the same broader zone is Address Beach Resort Marassi, which lists its location at Kilo 129, Matrouh Road, Marassi, El Alamein. The property highlights direct beach access, three pools and multiple dining options, making it a good fit for readers planning a two- or three-night coastal break around the concert.
Best stay picks by style
- Closest to the concert: Porto Golf Hotel Apartments / Porto Golf area
- Luxury in New Alamein proper: Rixos Premium Alamein
- Classic North Coast resort stay: Al Alamein Hotel in Marassi
- Beachfront weekend escape: Address Beach Resort Marassi
Where to eat before Sherine takes the stage
If you are staying in or near New Alamein, North Square is one of the easiest pre-concert food hubs. Visit Alamein’s dining guide highlighted several concrete options there, including Andrea Grill & More, which opened in North Square Mall, as well as NI Café and Deka Egyptian Family Dining. For concert night, Andrea is the safest all-rounder if your group wants a familiar Egyptian-Mediterranean menu that is substantial enough before a long live show, while NI Café works better for coffee, light bites and an earlier meetup.
If seafood by the water feels more like the right North Coast mood, the same New Alamein guide highlighted B’HAAR Beach Restaurant in Al Alamein Marina and SeaSide Restaurant on the waterfront. These make more sense if you are building in extra time and want the evening to begin with a proper seaside meal before heading to Porto Golf.
For readers based in Marassi, there are stronger destination-dining choices. Sachi Marassi (@sachirestaurants on Instagram) is prominently featured by Marassi itself, which describes it as the development’s first floating restaurant at Marassi Marina. For a concert-weekend splurge, it is one of the North Coast’s most recognisable dinner reservations. Marassi also promotes SOL Beach as a Mediterranean dining and beach-bar concept, making it a strong sunset-to-night option if you are not rushing straight to the venue.
Inside Al Alamein Hotel, the dining line-up is unusually strong for a hotel-first option. Official listings include Origins, B’haar, Bay.Root Express, Blé and Streats. If you want to keep logistics simple, this is one of the best places to combine stay and dinner without sacrificing variety.
Smart pre-show dining plan
- Fast and easy near New Alamein: Andrea Grill & More at North Square
- Coffee and casual meetup: NI Café at North Square
- Seafood and marina atmosphere: B’HAAR or SeaSide in Al Alamein Marina
- Special-occasion dinner: Sachi Marassi
- Hotel dining without leaving your resort: Origins or B’haar at Al Alamein Hotel
How to spend the night after the concert
A Sherine crowd on the North Coast is unlikely to call it a night the moment the encore ends. If you are staying in Porto Golf or central New Alamein, the easiest plan is to return locally and keep the evening low-stress with hotel lounges, cafés or late food stops rather than joining the main outbound rush.
If you want more of a scene, Marassi Marina is still one of the coast’s most reliable late-night social zones. Marassi’s official entertainment pages position it as a nightlife and dining hub, with names such as Sachi and SOL giving the area a post-dinner, post-concert rhythm that suits groups who still want one more round, dessert stop or marina walk.
Another New Alamein option to watch is Cassette New Alamein, which lists itself for Summer 2026 at North Square Mall as a beachfront resto-bar and club concept. For readers who want to stay inside New Alamein rather than driving east toward Marassi after the show, this is one of the clearer nightlife-style names currently attached to the city.
If your group is mixed in age or simply wants a softer ending, the better North Coast move is often a late dessert, coffee and promenade-style walk rather than a second loud venue. New Alamein’s mall-and-marina pattern increasingly supports exactly that kind of summer night.
Practical tips for Egypt readers planning the night
Because the concert is on a Friday, demand on the coast is likely to be heavy well before showtime. The safest strategy is to arrive in daylight, check in, have an early dinner, and head to Porto Golf with time to spare. Readers commuting from Alexandria or Cairo on the same day should assume summer traffic and avoid building the plan around a last-minute arrival.
It is also worth noting that Sherine Abdel Wahab (@sherine on Instagram) has not been returning to an ordinary date on the calendar. Egyptian and regional coverage has framed the 7 August show as a major artistic return after a long gap from Egypt’s concert stage, which helps explain the unusually hot ticket demand and the premium lounge pricing that surfaced in late July.
The bottom line
If you are going to Sherine’s 7 August New Alamein concert, make the trip bigger than the stage alone. Stay at Porto Golf if convenience matters most, book Rixos Premium Alamein if you want New Alamein luxury, or base yourself in Marassi at Al Alamein Hotel or Address Beach Resort if your plan is a full coastal escape. For food, North Square is the practical choice, while Marassi Marina is still the polished pick for a more glamorous meal. And after the music ends, the smartest move is simple: do not fight the road if you do not have to. Turn Sherine’s comeback into a North Coast overnight, and New Alamein suddenly feels less like a venue trip and more like the complete summer outing it was built for.
