Every Eid, one thing is guaranteed on Egyptian tables: kahk, biscuits, petit four, and ghorayeba. Families bring them out for guests, kids sneak extra pieces from the tray, and everyone argues about which filling is the best. But this year, a bakery is taking Eid sweets to a completely different level. Meet the ultra-luxury Eid Kahk box from Exception Pastry, and yes, it costs 39,000 EGP.
This isn’t your typical Eid sweets box. Instead of a simple tin or cardboard package, the box is designed like a luxury leather case. To open it, you don’t just lift the lid. You unlock it using a card, fingerprint, or passcode. Once it opens, the box lights up, and you hear a message that says “Eid Said” (Happy Eid). It’s like opening a high-end gadget.
The sweets inside are all handmade and include a full Eid assortment. Expect classics like:
Basically, everything you’d expect to see on an Eid dessert table, just packaged in the most extravagant way possible.
Here’s where things get interesting. While this luxury box costs 39,000 EGP, most kahk boxes in Cairo are hundreds, not thousands, of pounds.
For some people, the appeal isn’t just the sweets. It’s the experience, packaging, and exclusivity. A box like this could easily become a luxury Eid gift for someone who loves over-the-top surprises. But if you’re simply craving that buttery kahk with powdered sugar, you could still get the same treats for a fraction of the price if you choose regular packaging.
So the real question is:
Would you spend 39,000 EGP on a kahk box this Eid… or stick with the classic trays everyone loves?
