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.
