Happy Mawlid Nabawy to all Muslim around the globe.
Today , Muslims celebrate the anniversary of Prophet Mohamed's"PBUH" birth aka El-Mawlid. 
Also just after 24 hours , Christians around the globe will celebrate Christmas , so it is a double celebration.
So Happy Mawlid Nabawy and Merry Christmas to everybody.
Today is a National Holiday in Egypt.

Mickey Mouse celebrating the Mawlid in 1960s Egypt 
Egyptians are now celebrating the Mawlid eating delicious sugary sweets.
Today Many Muslims online are celebrating Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" birth by sharing Sufi songs and Nasheed praising the prophet.
Here is an Arabic praise for the Prophet, it is actually a prayer calling God to praise Prophet Mohamed.


Now here is something unusual , a Sufi Celtic song by Al-Firadus Sufi ensemble. It is something new and different.
Thanks to dear friend H.Halleyer

 Merry Mawlid.

And this how some Egyptian celebrated the Moulid in 2015.
The Sufi orders from different governorates organized processions at Al-Hussein Mosque area celebrating the birth of Prophet Mohamed "PUBH", his grandfather.
Here are videos from the celebrations earlier Wednesday
From Ahram Online

Photographer Roger Anis also took couple of news photos from the Sufi orders parade



.

In Upper Egypt, festivities already started a couple of days ago with beautiful horse shows in the villages between tribes.
For the first time in my life, I know that in some quarters in Alexandria they distribute Sharbet celebrating the Moulid.
And as the feast is not one but two because Christmas eve is on Thursday, I would like this beautiful illustration for the Holy Family depicted in Egyptian Moulid Al-Nabawy style.

At night, the New Cairo Ritz Carlton added a very beautiful addition to Tahrir square celebrating both the Moulid and Christmas.

Merry Moulid once again.

Meet Egypt's unique Moulid Christmas tree, the latest addition to the unique Tahrir square thanks to Nile Ritz Carlton.
I do not think that in any place in the world that got that shape to celebrate both
Prophet Mohamed "PUBH" and Jesus' birthday anniversary in that unique way. Combining the Egyptian Moulid traditions with the Western Christmas traditions was more than fantastic.

with flickering lights at night , the tree is attracting many people 
Already this tree or shape symbolizing the Christmas tree got on the top of it the famous shape of the sweet Moulid doll. 
It looks amazing at night with all the lights in the heart of Tahrir square.

My true respect to the designer who got this idea.
This is how the tree looks in the morning.
A minimalist design that many would think to be boring and ugly
