Where to Find the Best Dates in Egypt – A SceneEats Guide

We dropped our last guide, minding our own business, when Egypt’s Linah Farms slid into the comments like, “We’re waiting for the dates guide!” And when you ask, we deliver. We take our dates seriously—the kind you eat and the kind that involve questionable texting decisions at 2 AM.


And honestly, this couldn’t have come at a better time. Ramadan is right around the corner, and we all know what that means: time to stock up on the good stuff. Whether you’re prepping for iftar, elevating your snack game while watching Ramez’s latest antics, or showing up to a gathering looking like the ultimate gift-giving legend, dates are the non-negotiable MVP of the season.


So, we did the work and rounded up the finest, juiciest, most luxurious dates in Egypt. Whether you like them plain, stuffed, or coated in layers of chocolate and nuts, this list ensures you never settle for anything less than perfection. Now, let’s get into it—because good dates (the edible kind) wait for no one.

Linah Farms

📍 Delivers all over Egypt

Bringing premium Egyptian dates straight from the source, Linah Farms ensures every bite is fresh and flavorful. Whether you’re a Medjool purist or prefer your dates stuffed, fancy, or even smashed, Linah Farms guarantees top-tier goodness.

Bateel

📍 Arkan Plaza, Sheikh Zayed & Online

Bateel doesn’t just sell dates; they sell an entire luxury experience. Chocolate-dipped, caramel-stuffed, nut-infused—you name it, they’ve mastered it. If you’re looking to impress or just feel like treating yourself (which you should), Bateel is the obvious choice.

Abu Auf

📍 Branches all over Egypt

Reliable, accessible, and always there when you need them, Abu Auf is the dates plug we all grew up with. Bonus: They have boxes with both dates and yamish, because sometimes, variety is the only right answer.

Alyaa Dates

📍 Delivers all over Egypt

Alyaa Dates understands the assignment: premium dates? Check. Carefully curated fillings? Double check. Aesthetic packaging that makes the perfect thoughtful gift? Triple check.


Januba Dates

📍 Delivers all over Egypt

Januba sources its dates straight from Nubia, ensuring authentic quality in every bite. But they don’t stop there—they elevate traditional dates with indulgent toppings like Lotus, pistachio, chocolate, and white chocolate. If you're looking for something beyond the basics, Januba is the answer.

El Abd

📍 Branches all over Egypt

Known for its iconic Egyptian desserts, El Abd’s date selection deserves just as much attention. If you’re feeling indulgent, their dates will make you forget every bad decision you’ve ever made.

Phillippe Pittas

📍 Branches all over Alexandria

Alexandrians, this one’s for you. Phillippe Pittas is the go-to spot for top-tier dates in the coastal city. If you’re serious about finding the best, consider this your sign to pay them a visit (or five).

TAMRTNA

📍 In select stores & delivers all over Egypt

TAMRTNA is that low-key spot that people in the know won’t stop raving about. Their dates are handcrafted to perfection, with flavors so good they’ll ruin regular dates for you forever. Proceed with caution.
