Eid Cravings: Where to Get The Best Kahk

As we count down the final days to Eid Al Fitr, the anticipation of indulging in traditional treats is already taking over every Egyptian household. While there are still those who cherish the art of homemade Kahk, the majority will be heading to their local bakeries to grab boxes brimming with these sweet delights. Of course, pleasing everyone’s palate isn’t always easy — some swear by the buttery melt-in-your-mouth goodness of Petit-four, while others opt for the delicate, crumbly charm of Ghorayeba. With this in mind, ELLE has handpicked an array of options that are sure to satisfy every taste bud this festive season.

And by the way, let’s just get this out there: No, please, don’t give pistachio-filled or coated Kahk. We’re done here. Keep it classic, people! We’re aiming for perfection, not a flavor experiment.
