Call it a tradition or a time-honored practice; there’s a universal guideline on how we all spend our Eid vacations. If any of these elements is missing, it feels like a vital part of the Eid spirit is absent. Here are four essential features of your Eid starter pack.

Biscuits and Shai Be Laban


You, the delicious freshly baked biscuits, and your favorite Shai Be Laban, it’s a date. Starting your Eid couldn’t get any better than this cherished tradition associated with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.

Replaying Iconic Egyptian Plays


Despite all the new shows and movie releases every Eid season, the old iconic plays still hold a special place in our hearts and memories. From ‘El 3eyal Kebret’ to ‘Keda Ok’, it’s a long list of enjoyable timeless classics worth revisiting from one Eid to another.

A Nap After Eid Prayer


After pulling an all nighter to wait for for “Salat El Eid”, a nap, which we believe will be short but never is, becomes essential. It’s a part of every Eid’s schedule that ensures we gather our strength to celebrate with warm family gatherings in the best way possible.

Procrastinating Post-Vacation Tasks


Well, it’s time to face reality and prepare ourselves for all the work we’ve been putting off till after the Eid vacation. But don’t let this take from your enjoyment of the long weekend. Instead, use it as a source of motivation to get back on track.
