Cairo Design Week Sets Dates for Fourth Edition This November

From 19 to 28 November 2026, Cairo Design Week will once again transform the capital into an open, walkable programme of exhibitions, installations and ideas where visitors can map out a full day or simply follow curiosity wherever it leads.

Since its launch in 2022, Cairo Design Week has grown from a neighbourhood-scale experiment in Heliopolis into one of the region’s most anticipated cultural events and a recognised member of the World Design Weeks network. Each edition has expanded its reach, from Heliopolis to Downtown’s Belle Époque fabric, the Citadel, Zamalek and beyond.

The week has always aimed to position design as a public conversation, not confined to disciplines or industries but embedded in everyday life. Families wander through heritage homes, students sketch between installations, and passers-by find themselves drawn into conversations about form, function and feeling.

Now entering its fourth edition, Cairo Design Week returns with anticipation building around how this year’s theme will once again reshape the way the city sees, experiences and engages with design.
