A young Egyptian man wearing black gloves ladles Sharbat (شربات) from a large metal bowl into small cups, distributing the traditional sweet drink to passersby on a street in Al-Manshiya, Alexandria. Sharbat is a deep-rooted Alexandrian custom of serving a handmade sweet rose-colored beverage at weddings and celebrations as a gesture of community generosity. The outdoor street setting, crowded with pedestrians and old residential buildings in the background, reflects the living folk heritage of Alexandria's historic neighborhoods.
