Khamreet Bread

Khamreet Bread has been produced in Nubia, in Aswan, for at least 500 years. That type of bread is made of corn or wheat, It has a beige coloured solid texture. Khamreet is also flat and thin that has a soft smell.

It is an exclusively Nubian product and its knowledge is transmitted between generations; Nubian people make it in their religious occasions, especially Ramadan. They use a piece of equipment for making it called Doka, which is a large griddle of iron or clay. The production of this sort of bread is small-scaled, mainly home-based, and it is sold in local markets and through personal networks.
