Other kinds of sweet (turkish origin also) is Aeshel saraya, imagine what does this mean? bread of the palace. :) It is made of french bread but made in expanded layers, then cooked into the oven and soaked with syrup. Then topped with fresh cream (very rich) and sometimes nuts.
This is very delicious.
Egyptain traditional sweet includes something like panack called fetteer, however, this feteer may be made into neutral or sweet (stuffed with cream, honey or jam, or sprinkled with sugar, or sometimes made into saltish stuffed with cheese...etc). We also use the neutral one to eat cheese or honey.
Actually the Egyptian kitchen is very rich and complicated.
