Revisiting traditions with 20 pounds
A seller of Mawlid dolls and sugar horses in the Bab El-Bahr area of Cairo is reviving an old tradition linked to the Islamic Prophet's birthday. He sells various shapes of dolls and horses that originate from Fatimid traditions and are used to celebrate the Mawlid. There is a significant rush to buy them in the days leading up to the event. The sale of these items resumed after several years of absence. The seller emphasizes that demand is connected to religious sentiments and long-standing customs. Prices have increased from 20 Egyptian pounds depending on the size, with strong demand from both traders and families. The production of sugar dolls and horses has decreased due to the rise in manufacturing of high-quality, non-edible products, leading to a decline in the availability of this traditional sweet treat.
