Candy with Arabic flavors ! The white ones in the left corner bottom row are nougats, the local favorites , made from milk and pistachio nuts and flavored with rose water.
Do enlarge to see the "sheesha" (hubble bubble) in the right corner . It is used to smoke tobacco through a vapors of steam.
The all time favorites ..lollipops !!
These a made from fruit pulp ..like peaches , apricots plums.
Now these ..though technically not candy per se ..but they are a local sweet so I thought I would put it up . A little like profiteroles .. yeast is added to make a batter of which little balls are deep fried and then dunked in a light syrup of honey and saffron.Taken at Dubai on 12 May 2008.

Have a great weekend.
I feel so exotic. Thank you. Mine's more mundane: http://aliceaudrey.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/jack-knows-better/
Nougats!!! I was LOOKING for them for MY candy post! I couldn't find any... *shakes head sadly*... I guess we can only get them at Christmas time around here. THEY are my favorite childhood memory candy! And I think I probably still love them! Thank you for sharing these!
Nice shots and all of the candy looks delicious!
Ooh so much yummy sweet stuff, so little time! Happy weekend
Shubd, I've seen your name around on all the blogs I'm commenting at so I thought I'd say "Hi" All that candy looks yummy! :D
That's a cool lot of candies!! I hope you just took pictures of them and not put them all into your mouth :P *lol*
p/s: Was sick yesterday, feeling better already. Thanks!! :)
Now these are very tempting...
You have a good control over your taste buds... not eating them while clicking them. :)
Mmm.. me likes sweets.. and nougat made from rose water and nuts sound real interesting. Did you try them??
Happy WW! :)
Thanks all for stopping by .
The Arabic fried sweet that at the bottom of the post is called "lagaimaat" ... yeah ..I know it is a mouthful ! But then so is the sweet ! :)
Yes I have tasted most of the sweets in there .. they are all nice . But luckily for me I dont have much of a sweet tooth so could well refrain from eating them well taking the pictures.
Of them all , if I did have to pick it would be the nougats. The milk and pistachios with the delicate flavor of rosewater makes them very enticing. :)
