As Ramadan ends, households in the Middle East will celebrate Eid Al-Fitr with an array of traditional sweet treats.
Kahk

Nashader biscuits
These traditional biscuits, popular in Egypt, have a light, airy, and crunchy texture with a subtle sweetness.
Butter cookies
The Middle Eastern butter cookies, also known as Petite Four, are delicate treats, typically sandwiched with a variety of jams or dipped in chocolate and adorned with sprinkles or crushed nuts.
Aseeda
Aseeda, a jelly-like dessert made from cooked wheat flour and honey, is enjoyed during festivities in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Sudan and Libya.
Sevia
Sevia, a warm and sweet vermicelli milk dish, is often enjoyed during Eid.
Graybeh
Palestinians often stuff this with either pine nuts or almonds. In Syria and Lebanon, Eid biscuits are stuffed with dates or walnuts. In Iraq, these are known as klaicha.
