Very Entertaining

We were taken here as a little side trip during our Cairo tour. The owner of the shop, an older Egyptian fellow, will inform and entertain you while he explains the oils. The oils are sold to perfume manufacturers who water them down and add alcohol; according to the owner. The plan is of course for you to purchase the oils, which quite a few of us did. It is a most pleasant way to spend an hour and there really wasn’t any pressure to purchase.
