Saint Levant, who sings in Arabic, English and French, plays one night at Cairo’s Zed Park. Tickets start at about US$32.

Saint Levant, the Palestinian-Algerian singer behind the viral hit “Very Few Friends,” plays Cairo on Saturday, 5 December 2026. The show is at Zed Park, an entertainment park in Sheikh Zayed City on the western edge of greater Cairo.

TicketsMarche, the Egyptian ticket platform that sells the show, lists prices from about US$32 (EGP 1,750). For US visitors the main steps are an Egyptian visa, a trip west of downtown and an early start.

Who Is Saint Levant

Saint Levant is the stage name of Marwan Abdelhamid, who was born in Jerusalem, Grammy.com reported in February 2025. His mother is French-Algerian and his father is Palestinian-Serbian, and he spent early childhood in Gaza before moving to Jordan.

He sings mainly in English, French and Arabic, often mixing all three in one song. His 2022 song “Very Few Friends” went viral on TikTok, the video app, according to the same Grammy.com profile.

His album Deira features Algerian shaabi rhythms and rai influences, Grammy.com said. He followed it with Love Letters, a six-song double-disc EP released in early 2025 with Arab collaborators.

Scenenow, a Cairo entertainment site, said in July 2024 that he had played the Cairo Jazz Club in 2022. It added that a North Coast show that month, at D-Bay, would be his second performance in Egypt.

TicketsMarche describes the Cairo night as one that crosses borders, languages and genres. It promises Arabic, English and French together with pop, R&B and hip-hop, and a night of sing-alongs.

What Happens on 5 December

The seller lists the show for Saturday, 5 December, at 7 p.m. in Cairo, which is noon Eastern Time. Doors open at 3 p.m., or 8 a.m. Eastern.

Cairo Spots, an independent events listing, shows the same date and a 7 p.m. start. The ticket seller leaves its organiser line blank and publishes no end time.

The seller sets an age limit of 12 and over, and children aged 12 to 15 must come with an adult. Nothing on the page says whether younger children can enter.

Cairo Spots also lists Ghostly Kisses at Zed Park on Friday, 4 December, the night before. Visitors who want a concert weekend in Sheikh Zayed could see both shows.

Tickets and Prices

Tickets are sold only through TicketsMarche, whose event page is the one Cairo Spots links to. Buyers must register or log in on the TicketsMarche site before they can book.

  • General Admission Early Bird: US$31.65 (EGP 1,750), listed as available at last check, on 24 October.
  • Fan Pit Wave 1: US$54.26 (EGP 3,000), listed as available at last check, on 24 October.
  • VIP Left Wave 3: US$94.96 (EGP 5,250), listed as available at last check, on 24 October.
  • VIP Right: marked sold out on the same page at last check.

Conversions use the open.er-api.com market rate updated on 24 October 2026, when US$1 bought about EGP 55.29. The seller labels tiers in waves but does not say when prices change.

The seller does not say what VIP includes, where the left and right VIP areas sit, or whether fees apply at checkout. Check the final total before paying, and buy only from TicketsMarche.

The Venue and How to Get There

TicketsMarche lists the venue as Zed Park, Elsheikh Zayed, Giza Governorate, Egypt, with a map link on the event page. Sheikh Zayed City lies west of central Cairo.

The seller does not publish a street address, parking rules or shuttle details. Open the map link on the event page before you book a ride.

Sheikh Zayed is outside central Cairo, so allow extra time for traffic after the show. Book a hotel on the west side or arrange a driver for the return.

TicketsMarche lists bathrooms, parking, food service and security at the venue. It does not say whether the stage area is covered, so pack for a December evening outdoors.

Entry Rules for US Citizens

Egypt’s official e-visa portal, visa2egypt.gov.eg, lists the United States among the nationalities that can apply online. It lists a single-entry tourist visa at US$30 and a multiple-entry tourist visa at US$65.

The portal asks for a passport valid six months from arrival, an e-visa printout, an itinerary and hotel details. It also says port authorities may refuse entry to an e-visa holder without explanation.

Apply through the official portal only, and pay by credit or debit card as the portal describes. Check the US State Department’s Egypt pages for any other entry or customs rules before you fly.

Safety and Practical Tips

The US State Department publishes a travel advisory for Egypt that sets the official safety level. Read the current version before you book, because the level can change.

Keep a digital copy of your passport and visa page, and carry the original to the venue. Arrange your ride back to your hotel before the show starts.

Egypt’s summer time ends on the last Thursday of October, so it runs on winter time by 5 December. A separate guide to the clock change is linked below.

What It Means for You

If you are a US fan or a US resident in Cairo, buy only through TicketsMarche and check the total. The early-bird tier at US$31.65 is the cheapest listed ticket.

Visitors flying in should apply for the e-visa before they travel and carry the passport to the gate. Arrange the return ride before the show, as the venue is far from central Cairo.

What Is Not Known

No support acts, set length or end time are published, and the seller leaves its organiser line blank. Third-party listings give details the seller does not confirm, so they are left out.

It is not stated whether the stage area is covered, what VIP includes, or what the bag and re-entry rules are. Nor is it clear how many tickets remain in each tier, or how far the venue is from central Cairo.

What Comes Next

Doors open at 3 p.m. on Saturday, 5 December, and the show is listed for 7 p.m. Cairo time. No other dates on this tour are confirmed here.

A change of time or venue would be posted on the TicketsMarche page first. A date change would not alter the visa or entry rules for US visitors.
