Do I need a referral to attend?

Kismet is an intimate and curated event. Referrals help us maintain the energy of the group—but if you don’t have one, you can still join the waitlist for open or future spots. Events throughout the year in different locations globally are great ways to get referrals through our members.


How do rooms work?

The hotel in Cairo has a mix of two, three, and four bed room types. We urge groups of friends to enjoy these rooms so we can reserve single beds for couples.

On the Yachts each room fits two people.

You can book:

• A full room (both spots)

• A single spot (we’ll pair you with someone compatible) for a 10% additional fee

Rooms are assigned based on booking order and yacht configuration.

Are payments refundable?

All payments are non-refundable, as each booking reserves your spot on a trip with extremely limited capacity.

You may transfer your spot to another approved guest up to 21 days before departure for a 10% transfer fee.

Is the experience safe?

Yes. We work with trusted partners in Egypt, private transport teams, vetted yacht crews, and local security. The entire experience is guided and monitored from pickup to drop-off to ensure a very positive and smooth traveling experience. We have taken the extra steps to curate spaces where everyone can bond with each other & immerse themselves into a local setting. We encourage you to stay with the group as we cannot guarantee anything outside of our booked spaces.

A balance of:

• Elevated parties

What do I pack?

How many people attend?

What if I have dietary restrictions?
