Perfume and Oils Palace


Next we were offered the opportunity to help the Egyptian economy at a Perfume and Oils Palace, where we were treated to a sampling of a wide variety of oils and extracts from which some of the world's best-known perfumes are made. One of the most interesting aspects of this was watching the glassblower make perfume bottles - he wasn't blowing glass, but plexiglas - an unbreakable alternative!
