Mamoul looks like a simple cookie, but anyone who has made it at home knows otherwise. The dough must be buttery enough to melt but firm enough to hold its shape, and the date filling needs to stay soft without turning sticky. We press and shape each one by hand. At Cake Al Taybeen, we still make ours that way, alongside the pistachio shortbread and assorted biscuits that have filled cookie tins in this region for generations.
Mamoul goes by many spellings (maamoul, ma’amoul, mamool), but the idea never changes: a buttery shortbread wrapped around a filling of fresh dates. We bake two styles of maamoul cookies, because families tend to be loyal to one or the other.
These are the mamoul cookies Dubai families stock up on before Eid, but they don’t sit on the shelf the rest of the year either. If you’re not sure where to start, try both and settle the debate at home. When you want maamoul in Dubai that you can put out the moment the doorbell rings, a 500 g box is the easiest place to begin.
Depending on who taught you, you might know it as ghraiba, ghoraiba biscuits, or ghraybeh. The spelling varies from country to country, but the cookie is the same: a very light butter shortbread, so delicate it almost dissolves on your tongue. We finish each one with a peeled pistachio.
Ghraiba is often the cookie children remember best, mainly because it disappears so quickly.
Along with the classics, our Arabic biscuits UAE-based customers keep coming back for include:
For something beyond biscuits, our Arabic sweets range includes baklava, Chocolate Rangena, and Aseeda Egali Bites.
Mamoul has always been a gift as much as a snack. It goes to neighbors at Eid, comes along on family visits, and ends up packed in suitcases for relatives abroad. Our Assorted Mamool Tray brings together pistachio ghraiba, Moroccan mamoul, and Palestinian mamoul in a single box, so the person receiving it doesn’t have to choose.

We fill our mamoul with fresh dates, which keep the center soft and naturally sweet. We don't use any artificial fillings.
Moroccan mamoul is softer and more buttery, with a hint of nutmeg. Palestinian mamoul uses semolina, which gives it a firmer, crumblier texture. Both are filled with dates.
