This year’s box of Kahk might break the bank this Eid.

Ramadan is wrapping up, and you know what that means—kahk season is officially here! But this year, something other than powdered sugar is leaving a mark… the price tags!

Word on the street (and all over social media) is that one luxury bakery has priced a single box of kahk at a jaw-dropping EGP 16,000! While this might be an extreme case, there’s no denying that kahk prices have skyrocketed across the board. On average, a decent box will now set you back anywhere between EGP 800 to EGP 2,500—and let’s be honest, that’s enough to make anyone second-guess their sweet tooth!

No doubt inflation plays a role..

Inflation has undoubtedly played a role, but people can’t help but poke fun at how kahk is turning into a luxury item. Social media reactions have been golden, with memes comparing kahk to designer handbags and tweets joking that families might need a payment plan just to afford their holiday treats this year.

Despite the hefty price tags, one thing is for sure—kahk is a non-negotiable part of Eid. Whether you’re splurging on the fancy stuff or sticking to a good old homemade batch, the tradition (and the sugar rush) lives on!
