وربات ,شعيبيات ,shaabiyat

Warbat is a Levantine sweet pastry similar to baklava. Warbat consists of layers of phyllo dough filled with a semolina based custard, though it is sometimes also filled with pistachios, walnuts, almonds, or sweet cheese. The dessert is topped with a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and a hint of lemon brought to a boil and then left to cool and thicken. When served with cream it is called warbat bi-qishteh or warbat be gishta. Warbat is often served during Ramadan. In Lebanon, as well as in Homs and Hama, the dessert is known as shabiyaat.
