Each year, the tranquil charm of El Gouna on Egypt’s Red Sea coast gives way to something extraordinary—a vivid burst of sound, colour, and energy that transforms the serene haven into a surreal celebration of music and art. What begins as a subtle stir crescendos into Sandbox, a festival unlike any other in the region.
Launched in 2014 by trailblazing event collective Nacelle, Sandbox has grown into a globally recognized phenomenon—a multi-day festival that merges cutting-edge music with a deep sense of community. It’s not just an event; it’s a living, breathing culture that attracts thousands of fans and hundreds of artists from around the world. Each year, it returns more expansive, more immersive, and more ambitious than the last.
