Alexandria, Egypt — 28 November 2025. Bab Elbahr Festival returns for its 10th edition, celebrating Alexandria as the City of the Mediterranean on the International Day of the Mediterranean (28 November). This milestone edition presents artists from Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Sudan, and Palestine, with a hybrid program: online screenings on Basita Live from 28 November 2025 to 31 January 2026, and live performances across Alexandria from 30 November to 11 December 2025 at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Institut français d’Alexandrie, Goethe-Institut Alexandria – Cultural Garage, and Wekalet Behna, as venue partners and supporters.
The 10th edition continues to receive support from the Drosos Foundation for AGORA for Arts & Culture. In addition to the festival, this support is also represented in the Basita Fellowship—now in its second edition—a 10-month professional development programme that mentors emerging MENA artists in strategic planning, marketing, production, and hybrid (onsite/online) distribution. Fellows from the current cohort are premiering and showcasing their new productions at Bab Elbahr this year, demonstrating the Fellowship’s pathway from training to public presentation.
In addition, under the framework of its “Euro-Med to Med-Capital: The Alexandria Edition” call for proposals, the Anna Lindh Foundation is supporting the events taking place at the Institut français d’Alexandrie and the Goethe-Institut Alexandria (Cultural Garage), as well as the online programme. Organized by AGORA for Arts & Culture, with streaming and registrations via Basita Live, the festival continues to champion a global cultural sector rooted in Mediterranean creativity and youth development.
