The Coolness of the Dates Farm

|

I see this cool panorama everyday when I go to our Plant at Idku, which is around 50 km away or 45 minutes drive from Alexandria. Located between Abu Qir and Idku, this Balah in local dialect or dates farm is one of the biggest and best farms in Egypt after ElArish and Siwa, which are hundreds kilometer away from Alexandria.
There are many types of dates and one could find at least two main types here. There is short or small yellow colored type and another is long oval red colored date.
One shobata in local dialect or bundle could easily reach 10 – 15 kg but cost you only around 20 – 25 EGP. If you ask for 1 kg, they would give it free of charge.
One tree would produce 5 to 10 shobata of dates or around 150 kg of dates. If one kg of date cost 3 EGP, that will give you around 450 EGP per tree.
Allah is Great! In this, dates farm, planted among the trees are the Guava plant and between the Guavas plants one could find tomato plant or melons. SubhanaAllah, from the same piece of soil or sands, Allah azza wa jalla produces at least three different types of fruits with different colors, shapes and tastes. Amazing! Allah is Great.
