Located in Al-Hada, Ta'if, the factory uses traditional distillation methods where thousands of handpicked Ta'if roses are immersed in large copper pots for 9 to 12 hours to extract the aromatic rose water. The factory produces multiple rose-based products, including culinary rose water, concentrated rose water for medicinal and cosmetic uses, and rose oil, one of the most expensive oils in the world.
Al-Kamal Rose Factory is the oldest rose factory in Saudi Arabia, established in 1831 and located in the Al-Hada district of Taif. It is renowned for producing high-quality rose water and oil from the famous Taif roses, using traditional steam distillation methods passed down through generations.
Managed by seventh-generation owner Khalid Al-Kamal and his three sons, the factory operates over 120 distillation pots, processing approximately 1.2 million roses daily during peak season. The factory’s products, including rose water and rose oil, are used in culinary, cosmetic, and religious applications, such as the ceremonial cleansing of the Kaaba in Makkah.
