STORYLINE:
During Eid al-Fitr, Egyptians delight in the tradition of savoring Kahk cookies, a symbolic treat of the festival, which marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): Cairo resident
"Kahk brings joy, especially to children. Gifting it to guests during festive visits is a cherished old custom."
Kahk holds historical significance, dating back to ancient Egyptian times when it was offered to priests.
Today, the practice of making and sharing Kahk continues, though more opt to buy the pre-made version due to time constraints.
Despite economic challenges, Kahk remains an essential part of the celebrations.
SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): Kahk seller
"Prices across the market are elevated due to the high cost of raw materials. Lowering prices could lead to losses as the materials are exceedingly expensive."
SOUNDBITE 3 (Arabic): Cairo resident
"When it comes to shopping, I believe there are priorities. I make it a point to buy a small portion of Kahk to celebrate the festival."
The tradition of sharing Kahk has transformed over time, shifting from royal practices to a beloved household custom observed by many during the festive season.
