Marwan Meetup was born from a simple, slightly absurd, deeply wonderful idea: what if everyone in the room shared your name?
Based in Cairo, Egypt, we bring together people named Marwan — and their closest kin, the Marwas — for monthly social gatherings, spontaneous adventures, and the shared experience of answering every time someone shouts across a room.
We are not a networking event. We are not a conference. We are a club — and the only credential you need is your name.
Founded in 2026, Marwan Meetup has grown into one of Cairo's most talked-about social clubs — proof that the most arbitrary things can create the most genuine connections.
مروان في كل مكان، دائماً
Hosted on January 31st at Oh Coffee! We brought 20 Marwans together to present themselves, mingle, and find an imposter Marwan. We handed out prizes and stickers, and — more importantly — this was the start of our Marwan Movement.
Hosted at Mayyal Mayyal in Maadi on March 14th, we had an iftar gathering with about 40 Marwans, and also managed to raise 2000 EGP for a charity of our choice. The day was full of surprises and new Marwans, and gave us much more publicity than ever before.
Our third official Marwan Meetup, hosted at the grand opening of Dash Burger and DripHaus on the 21st of May. This meetup is special as the business is also owned by a Marwan, and included lots of familiar faces — and brought forth plenty of imposter Marwans that we had to sniff out.
