Gala de Danza at the Grand Egyptian Museum
Gala de Danza is at the Grand Egyptian Museum on Thursday 5 November 2026. TicketsMarche is selling. Doors 19:00. Doors close 20:45. Curtain 21:00. Tiers from EGP 2,195 to EGP 18,820. Age 8 and over. Anyone under 18 needs an adult. This is not a daytime gallery ticket.
The gala is ballet, contemporary dance and opera in the museum, with more than 150 billed artists and 50 young Egyptian dancers picked from an open audition. GEM CEO Ahmed Ghoneim tied the booking to the museum's night programme, not a one-off hire. Named principals on the playbill include Maria Khoreva, Madeline Woo and Shale Wagman. Confirm the running order on the seller page the week of the show.
Alexandria Desert Road. Formal enough for a gala, warm enough for the plateau wind at 23:00. Do not count on a taxi at the door when 1,000 people leave at once. Pre-book the ride back to Mohandessin or 6th of October.
