The Prophet's Birthday, known as "Mawlid al-Nabi," is a special occasion celebrated in Egypt with vibrant activities, especially in traditional markets. These markets come alive with colorful decorations, sweets stalls, and toys for children. A key feature of the celebration is the "Mawlid sweets," such as sugar dolls and nut-based treats, which attract both locals and tourists. People flock to these markets to buy festive goods and enjoy the lively atmosphere, making it a unique cultural experience deeply rooted in Egyptian heritage.

In a scene that reflects the spirit of the Egyptian people, the image shows a Christian man with a tattoo of the Virgin Mary on his shoulder browsing through Mawlid al-Nabi sweets. This occasion, celebrated by Muslims across the Arab world, honors the birth of the Prophet Mohamed, peace be upon him.
