Sherine’s Porto Golf Night: Where to Eat in New Alamein
Sherine Abdel Wahab returns to the North Coast on August 7
Sherine Abdel Wahab (@sherine on Instagram) is scheduled to perform on August 7, 2026 at Porto Golf Alamein as part of the Porto Golf Summer Festival. Egyptian reports said the concert was booked as one of the festival’s headline summer events, with production handled by organizer Yasser El Hariry. Porto Golf’s own hospitality material also confirms that the resort regularly hosts bands and concerts, making it a natural fit for a high-demand North Coast live show.
For anyone turning the concert into a full outing, the bigger question is not only what Sherine will sing, but where to eat beforehand, where to stop for coffee afterwards, and how to move around New Alamein without wasting the night in traffic. The good news is that the Porto Golf and New Alamein area now has enough dining, retail and leisure infrastructure to make that easy if you plan in the right order.
Know the venue first: what Porto Golf offers
Porto Golf sits on Egypt’s North Coast at 112 km Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh Road, Al Alamein City. The resort’s published fact sheet lists an on-site shopping arcade, pools, golf practice areas, Aqua Porto and restaurants including Chili’s and Kababgy Misr. Its official hotel materials also point visitors toward nearby landmarks and leisure stops around Alamein, which matters if you want to build a full North Coast night around the concert rather than arrive just before showtime.
That means there are really three smart dining zones for the night: inside Porto Golf for the easiest pre-show meal, New Alamein’s newer retail areas for more variety, and Marassi’s established dining and nightlife hubs if you are making a longer North Coast evening of it before or after heading back east.
Best place to eat before the concert if you want zero hassle
1) Eat inside Porto Golf
If your priority is convenience, the most practical move is to have dinner inside Porto Golf itself. The resort’s own fact sheet names Chili’s Tex-Mex Cuisine Restaurant and Kababgy Misr Oriental Restaurant among its on-site dining options. For a concert night that is likely to draw a crowd, staying inside the venue area cuts down on parking stress, gate delays and the usual North Coast “we’ll just stop somewhere first” timing mistakes.
- Choose Chili’s if your group wants a familiar, quick-service sit-down meal with predictable timing.
- Choose Kababgy Misr if you want a more Egyptian pre-concert dinner and prefer grilled or oriental dishes before a long night.
This is the safest option for families, bigger friend groups, or anyone coming from Alexandria or Cairo and arriving close to the start time.
2) Go early and keep dinner simple
Even if you eat on-site, aim to arrive in the Porto Golf area at least 90 minutes before you expect the concert zone to get busy. A simple formula works best: light dinner, short walk, then straight to the venue. Heavy seafood feasts sound tempting on the Coast, but they are not ideal right before a major outdoor show in August.
Where to eat nearby if you want more variety than the venue
North Square Mall and Marina-front dining in New Alamein
New Alamein’s restaurant map has been expanding, and tourism platform Visit Alamein highlighted North Square Mall and the Marina front as key dining zones for summer visitors. That makes them the most sensible answer if you want a proper meal before heading to Porto Golf, especially if your group is already staying inside New Alamein rather than farther west on the Coast.
The advantage here is not one single celebrity restaurant, but the cluster effect: multiple eateries, easier choice for mixed groups, and a more flexible pre-show atmosphere than a one-venue dinner. If you are the type who likes to walk a retail promenade, take a few photos and then move on to the concert, this is the right zone to target.
- Best for: mixed groups, families, and anyone staying in New Alamein towers or nearby compounds.
- Timing tip: finish dinner and leave for Porto Golf before the usual late-evening rush builds around concert time.
- What to order: keep it fast and shareable rather than committing to a long formal dinner.
Best nearby cafes for a late-night stop after Sherine
Porto Golf first, then New Alamein, then Marassi if you are extending the night
After a big concert, the smartest late-night coffee plan is usually the opposite of your dinner plan. Do not rush into the first traffic jam leaving the venue. Instead, give the area a little time to breathe.
Your easiest first option is to stay within the wider Porto Golf complex for a short post-show pause if food and beverage outlets are still serving. After that, New Alamein’s marina-front and mall areas are the most logical stop for coffee, dessert or a final cold drink before the drive home.
For those turning the night into a full North Coast outing, Marassi (@marassi on Instagram) remains one of the coast’s strongest after-hours lifestyle hubs. Emaar Misr’s official destination guide highlights Marassi Marina & Yacht Club, Mporium and The Hub as core dining, shopping and entertainment anchors, alongside hotels including Al Alamein Hotel, Vida Marina Resort and Address Golf Resort. In practice, that means plenty of potential for a polished late-night coffee stop if your group is staying westward and not heading straight back to Alexandria or Cairo.
- Quickest late-night stop: within Porto Golf or immediately around New Alamein.
- Best for a more stylish coffee-and-dessert detour: Marassi Marina, Mporium or The Hub.
- Best for drivers heading home: grab coffee close to your route, not at the farthest nightlife point on the map.
How to plan the night in New Alamein
A simple concert-night itinerary that works
6:00 pm to 7:00 pm: arrive in New Alamein or Porto Golf area early, especially if you are coming from outside the city.
7:00 pm to 8:15 pm: dinner at Porto Golf, North Square Mall or a marina-front restaurant.
8:15 pm to 8:45 pm: head to the venue, park, clear entry points and settle in.
After the concert: wait out the immediate rush, then choose either a short coffee stop nearby or a more social late-night detour toward Marassi if that suits your accommodation.
Who should choose which plan?
- If you are staying inside Porto Golf: eat on-site and walk or move internally.
- If you are staying in New Alamein: dine in the city first, then head to the venue.
- If you are based in Marassi or farther west: consider an early dinner near your stay, attend the concert, then return west for coffee instead of trying to fit everything in before the show.
The bottom line
Sherine’s August 7 Porto Golf concert looks set to be one of the North Coast’s most watched music nights of the summer. The easiest plan is also the best one: dinner close to the venue, arrive early, and save the lingering cafe stop for after the show. Porto Golf gives you practical on-site choices such as Chili’s and Kababgy Misr; New Alamein offers broader pre-show flexibility around North Square Mall and marina-front dining; and Marassi remains the polished option for anyone stretching the night into a full Coast outing.
If you organize the evening around traffic, not just appetite, you will get the part that actually matters: a smooth North Coast night built around Sherine’s return to the stage.
