The Mediterranean city of Alexandria holds a distinguished status among the mūlids celebrated in Egypt. Alexandria has historically been a magnet for scholars, particularly those from Andalusia and Morocco. The large number of shrines and tombs of saints (al-awliya’) has led some to refer to Alexandria as “the city of shrines”, with the mūlids of Abu el-Abbas al-Mursi and Abu al-Dardar being particularly notable. The historical roots of celebrating the mūlid date back to the ancient Egyptian era. This tradition was also observed during the Coptic era, where it was linked to saints, such as the mūlid of Saint George. This belief has continued through the Islamic era and persists to the present day. This paper is written in response to discussions about the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the mūlids, focusing on Alexandria and its unique aspects of celebrating this practice. Additionally, it will emphasize the historical roots of the mūlid tradition, highlighting some of the now-forgotten professions that once thrived during these celebrations.
