  • Comment: Also lacks significant coverage on each of the sweets, but by the looks of them, I might think of giving a foulya a try. Brachy08 (Talk) 05:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Mawlid sweets (Egyptian Arabic: حلاوه المولد) are sweets originated from Egypt and are made during Mawlid al-Nabi celebration.[1] They include Semsemya (سمسميه), Homsya (حمصيه), Sodanya (سودانيه), Turkish delight or Malban (ملبن) and number of other sweets.[2] [3] Typically they include lots of intensely flavorful sugary concoctions embedded with various types of caramelized nuts (sesame, pistachio, and almond nuts). Another traditional sweet created especially for Mawlid al-Nabi in Egypt is the sugar doll and the sugar “sultan on a horse” that are made of sugar and nuts decorated with colored paper.[4][2]
