It’s a spectacle of togetherness, tradition, and pure joy that keeps growing year after year.

A Tradition Like No Other

What started over a decade ago as a local initiative has become an iconic event that draws people from all over Egypt—and even beyond! More than 50,000 people sat side by side, breaking their fast together in a feast that felt more like a family reunion than just a meal. Streets were filled with warmth, laughter, and an unshakable sense of community, proving that Iftar El Matareya is more than just a gathering—it’s an experience.

Some are so hooked on the magic of this event that they literally plan their flights around it! Year after year, both locals and visitors make sure they don’t miss out on the electric atmosphere, the home-cooked generosity, and the unparalleled sense of belonging that Iftar El Matareya offers.

More Than Just Food—A Celebration of Culture and Solidarity

Iftar El Matareya isn’t just about the sheer size of the gathering—it’s about the values it represents. It’s a testament to Egyptian hospitality, unity, and the unbreakable bond that forms when thousands come together to share a meal. But this year, one message stood out loud and clear: Palestine is always in our hearts.

Everywhere you looked, the Palestinian flag was proudly held high, reminding everyone that solidarity has a place at every table. Amidst the food, the laughter, and the conversations, there was an undeniable sense of support for a cause that transcends borders.

When The Whole Country Joins in

If you thought Iftar El Matareya was just about food, think again! The whole Blaban team showed up and crashed the party, drawn in by the contagious energy and the festive spirit. And they weren’t the only ones—The Risky Boys pulled up too!

From spontaneous catwalks in the streets of Matareya to influencers and content creators capturing every unforgettable moment, the event had it all. Fashion, music, and pure Ramadan vibes mixed with tradition and modern culture, creating an atmosphere that was as lively as it was heartwarming.

Matareya…Beautiful in Every Language

At the heart of it all, Matareya once again proved that its spirit is unmatched. Whether you were there for the food, the community, or simply the experience, one thing was certain—this was more than just an iftar. It was a reminder of the beauty of togetherness, the power of tradition, and the joy of sharing.

As another successful Iftar El Matareya wraps up, one thing is for sure: the countdown for next year has already begun!
