Ramadan is finally here. Yes, it’s going to be slightly sombre without the usual gatherings; however, this won’t stop us from enjoying the season’s spirit with a selection of decorative items to cheer things up. Here’s a round-up of places where you can get your hands on some:

Joud Home:

One of the first in town to offer a special Ramadan collection for years now. This year’s Ramadan collection comes in blue, flowing with various items; from small and large table runners (295 and 395LE), cushions (300LE), tablecloths (565LE), and tea boxes (525LE). You can purchase these items through Joud Home’s website.

The store has a wide range of tablecloths whose prices range between 480LE and 240LE, according to size, as well as cute breadbaskets that come with or without cover at 225LE and 320LE respectively.
