welcome to the world of Khaliji music
Whether you are having a romantic break away or you are on vacation with friends or family, at some point on your holiday you will want to sample the local nightlife Sharm el Sheikh has to offer. As a multi-national resort, Sharm
is packed full of options with many familiar franchises such as Pacha, Space, Hard Rock Café and Little Buddha.
These big names often put on parties with equally big names such as Erik Morillo, Judge Jules, Bob Sinclair and David Guetta to name just a few. If you are a clubber these names and faces will be instantly recognized, but now a new genre of music is emerging on the club scene which for Europeans will be far from familiar – welcome to the world of It Khaliji music.
Sharm is attracting many more visitors from the Emirates and therefore the club scene is now being influenced by their trends.
This for any keen clubber just enriches the nightlife experience giving anyone visiting from anywhere a truly multi-cultural clubbing experience. Just as Bollywood hit the high spot it’s now time to kick up your heels and get to the rhythm of Khaliji beats.
Khaliji can best be described as tribal tunes originating from the Gulf area. The original music is similar to Bedouin music, which has strong roots in Sinai. It is a rich blend with base beats of tabl drum and highs of instrumental oud.
This beautiful and often spiritual music has now been modernized for the club scene. The traditional music has been fused with the latest club beats, creating a truly erotic, arabesque and intoxicating dance rhythm.
So to get with the latest club trend here is the lowdown on where to go. Pacha has launched its Khaliji night every Friday, where the whole club becomes a Khaliji kingdom. If you miss this chance then every other club night at
Pacha there is a separate Khaliji room – so you can dance mainstream and then test out the alternative beats.
Space has also launched a separate room aptly named Amon after one of the Egyptian Pharonic Gods. The club within Space is very luxurious mirroring the wealth and style of Khaliji music. Put yourself in the picture and think ‘1001 nights of Arabia’ mixed with rich, luxurious décor and the calling beats of the entrancing tribal tabl. You will be dancing until dawn and that’s why Khaliji is often the afterhours choice with the top name clubs staying open until 7am.
