Sunday 9th, The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau and the American Research Center in Egypt had the pleasure of hosting a truly unforgettable event at the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau in Washington, D.C., where we celebrated the strength of Egyptian women and the spirit of Ramadan in a day filled with joy, culture, and delicious traditions!
The event kicked off with a stunning short clip, designed by the Bureau, showcasing the magnificent photographyof the talented Dr. Amany Abdelkhaleq, capturing the beauty and resilience of Egyptian women from all walks of life.
Dr. Nermine Sabry, the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attaché, then took us on a journey through time, sharing the rich history and origins of some of Egypt’s most beloved Ramadan desserts—a deliciously sweet tradition passed down for generations!
Then, the excitement truly began with our Master Chef Egypt Competition! Families competed against each other to prepare the best Qatayef in the shortest time, filling the air with laughter, competition, and the irresistible aroma of Ramadan sweets.
Meanwhile, our younger guests had a fantastic time crafting Ramadan lanterns by hand and experimenting with a modern twist on tradition—Kunafa with chocolate!
The event ended on a high note with an interactive Q&A competition, where families raced to answer questions correctly for a chance to win exciting prizes!
It was a day filled with fun, energy, love, and laughter, bringing our community together to honor Egyptian womenand celebrate the spirit of Ramadan.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event so special.
