It's part of our hospitality. Traditionally, whenever we have a guest we serve them Arabic coffee and dates. Nowadays, people still serve guests with coffee but not necessarily dates. However the combination of the bitter coffee and the sweet dates remain. Some traditional sweets are Bakalava بقلاوة, Halwa حلوى and Luqaimat لقيمات. "Modern" variation of the hospitality can be cakes or pasteries. Also, not all Arabs "Love" desserts. I for one don't really like sweets, but you have to take a bite or two when you get served out of respect.

i agree with manna3ii,and also some occasions have specific sweets for it as in Ramadan u find ( kunafa,baklawa) and in Eid(feast) u can find(ka7k,pettifor) and so on :) and enjoy tasting these desserts :)

الحلويات هي من القديم سلوك من سلوك العائلات وهي باتت مثل عادة وعرف لا سيما في الأعياد
