Sandbox Festival x Moe's Records Launch Dubai-El Gouna Party Flight
Taking off on May 7th, the flight is a one-way charter exclusive for festival goers from UAE.
There is one thing really daunting about travelling to a music festival: the airport. Why can't we just teleport to the party? If you were thinking about going to Egypt's Sandbox Festival this year on May 8th and the 9th, this might just be the closest you'll get to that fantasy! Sandbox Festival has teamed up with UAE-bred dance label Moe's Records to launch MENA's first-of-its-kind AIRBOX, a direct party flight from Dubai to El Gouna, Red Sea, right where the festival is. Yes, you read that right. PARTY PLANE.
Brought in partnership with Escape Code, a luxury travel concierge, the exclusive flight is a one-way charter to pure, unadulterated festival frenzy, reserved for the festival-goers travelling from UAE. We're talking live DJ sets onboard powered by Moe's on The 5th happy cocktails from takeoff to touchdown.
The flight is scheduled to depart at 9 PM on May 7th from Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai, landing at Hurghada International Airport in Egypt, followed by a quick transfer to El Gouna. (They really took that 'pre-party' concept to a whole new level).
'We've been dreaming about doing a party charter flight from somewhere for a few years now and making a real experience out of it that adds a whole new dimension to one's trip to the festival, starting the party early and at 30,000 feet!' Tito El Kachab, Founder of Sandbox by Nacelle, tells SceneNoise
Organised by events giant Nacelle, this year's Sandbox Festival is bringing a mammoth lineup of international, regional and local electronic heavyweights to perform across five stages. Featured on the bill are the likes of Megatronic, Nesta, me, Sama' Abdulhadi and Anotr, along with Zuli, KID SIMIUS, Zeina, Ben UFO, DJ Holographic, and Echonomist.

Rise of Fearless builds gaming community of 2,500+ players united by African heritage and battle royale action
June 3, 2025, Dubai, UAE – Rise of Fearlesss , a UAE-based mobile gaming platform that merges African storytelling with immersive battle royale gameplay, is gaining traction as it surpasses 2,500+ registered players and builds strategic partnerships across Africa's gaming ecosystem. The game draws inspiration from Ethiopia's historic victory at the Battle of Adwa, and the cultural and historical elements of the game strike a chord with the gaming community. Since launching in April 2025, Rise of Fearless has not only attracted attention from players, but also from major stakeholders in the gaming industry. Recently, Rise of Fearless participated in Afro Geek Fest in South Africa where the game was presented to a broader audience of industry professionals. The Rise of Fearless community has been growing steadily through organic collaboration across the continent's gaming ecosystem. Volunteer African developers from the community have joined forces with the Rise of Fearless team to improve the game's visuals and gameplay, while gaming content creators – including established YouTubers and Nubianimation TV – feature the game on their channels. This collaborative approach extends to the player community where feedback is welcomed and helps build the movement. 'Players are not just downloading the game – they're actively sharing their experiences, helping enhance it, and building a whole new community for African gaming,' said Kanessa Muluneh, founder of Rise of Fearless. 'We're seeing genuine excitement about being part of a game that reflects African heritage and history.' Recent improvements based on real-time feedback from the community and players include enhanced character movement and responsiveness, as well as improved connectivity. With matches lasting between 10-20 minutes, Rise of Fearless offers non-stop action that sets it apart from typical battle royale games. The platform has also started hosting 'Play Hour' events where players log in at the same time to improve matchmaking. The next update of Rise of Fearless will include several new features in addition to enhanced character animation and visual quality. The upcoming Web3 integration will add another level to the player experience. The move to blockchain means that players will have true digital ownership of their in-game items. This digital ownership model will provide African gamers with new and valuable opportunities, especially in parts of Africa where traditional banking is limited.
