The weather in Egypt was WONDERFUL. Having some time to sit with friends was
a wonderful treat.
We toured the Essence Place then in the evening we were ready to see
The Temple of Luxor

But first ~ we compared notes about the perfumes we now safe horde in our suitcases.
Al Fayed's Perfumes Palace & Handicraft Glass. This is the famous Fayed family now resident in London and owner of Harrods. His son Dodi, died with Diana in
the Paris car crash. The manager of the house sat us down and offered all a drink.

The refreshments were followed by a well-rehearsed comedy routine that incorporated many of the essential oils and their uses. Many famous perfumes
derive from these plant and flower extracts.

After dinner we were treated to the Luxor Temple at night. The statues and
columns are impressive during the daylight but are so much more dramatic when
lit at night. The entrance has only one of the original obelisks in front as the other
was given to the French residing in the Place de la Concorde in Paris. The French
had so much trouble moving it that they did not accept any additional obelisks as
gifts! I liked the two colossal statues of Ramses II
(The Great) and the wall detail of Alexander the Great becoming Pharaoh.

Interesting post.
It was a lot of good smells there ;)
I wish I would have been able to smell that place, I am sure it was intoxicating. Now I guess I should start using my fancy perfume flasks and things. Just like in the picture you took with those beautiful bottles. I like to keep mine put away with clod-hopping cats, all 10 of them.
I want to know where I to buy these oil?
Is there a homepage to do this
While on this trip we purchased perfume and are asking if anyone has the contact information to buy the perfume from this location in Egypt.
God Bless
For those of you who want to buy perfume from Egypt can email Al Fayed at alfayedperfume@hotmail.com, and to buy the best cotton ever at good prices go to www.darwishcotton.com. Those two shops were my favourite shopping places when visiting Egypt in August 2010 from South Africa.
