Taif, a mountainous city southeast of Jeddah, is carpeted with bright pink roses every year —well-known for their aromatic smell. Consequently, an annual rose festival is being held.

The festival, organized by the Ministry of Culture and Taif municipality, includes various activities such as a beautiful roses parade, a light show, folklore performances, shopping stalls, and perfume-making workshops.

The cultivation of roses has been an ancient practice. Then the time comes to harvest them. After harvesting, the fragrant roses are transformed into rose oil or water.
