Ramadan Iftar Drinks

Ramadan Iftar drinks are so special. After a long day of fasting, a refreshing cold drink feels like a true blessing. While water is essential for quenching thirst, offering something a little extra adds a special touch.

As previously mentioned, Ramadan is an incredibly significant celebration in Egypt and the Islamic world.

Fasting begins before daybreak and continues until sunset, during which no food or drink is consumed. So, the drink served at Iftar is trully cherished.
