Majhoul PRODUCTION IN EGYPT
Given the favourable yet varied growing conditions around Egypt, the country boasts the highest number of date varietals that can flourish in its environment compared to any other country. That said, mejhoul has historically accounted for a smaller portion of date palms in Egypt compared to other varietals.
Medjool cultivation in Egypt was previously dominated by a small number of growers located in the Ismailiya region, but with the country’s more recent focus on the
development and expansion of the mejhoul variety,cultivation of the medjool
in the Bahariya region in the Western Desert (al Wahat) has significantly increased, where the agricultural conditions specific to that region
have successfully produced mejhoul dates that far surpasses the quality of Ismailiya produce. Today, the medjool variety constitute anmated 9% of Egypt’s total planted date palm trees.

Dates are typically harvested during the late summer and early autumn, depending on the variety and the climate. The ideal time is when they reach full ripeness and sweetness.
Dates should be stored in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, they can be refrigerated or frozen to retain their quality and flavor.
Our farm is dedicated to sustainable practices, using natural methods to cultivate high-quality dates. We take pride in offering a wide variety of premium dates that cater to diverse tastes.
