If iftar prep feels like a logistical feat, your snacks don’t have to be. From February 20th to 25th, the Cairo Date Festival at Al Horreya Garden offers a pre-Ramadan spread of Egypt’s finest dates—soft, chewy, stuffed, blended—each variety ripe for the picking. An Arab household staple, dates remain an unmatched iftar ritual: easy, nourishing, and naturally sweet enough to cut through a long day of fasting. Whether you’re stocking up or simply indulging, consider this festival your cue to secure the season’s best.
