Al Gadhi Rose Factory

Saudi Arabia


The largest rose factory in Taif, the 120-year-old Al Gadhi Rose Factory is well worth a visit, particularly at harvest time (May to July), when it’s open 24 hours and visitors can witness how the flower petals transform into rose water, scent and other domestic products, all of which are available for purchase here.
