In the heart of Taif Governorate, the Taif Rose Craftsmen House pulses as a heritage beacon blending the fragrance of the past with the innovations of the present. The Heritage Commission launched this project as an empowerment platform for young men and women, dedicated to developing their skills in the handicrafts associated with Taif rose, one of the most prominent symbols of Saudi cultural identity.

The house is located in the historic Dar Al-Tawhid School building, the first formal school in the Kingdom, which has been transformed into an integrated training center hosting 12-month workshops, including:

  • Essential oil production: using traditional distillation techniques to extract Taif rose oil.
  • Scented candle making: through handmade methods combining craftsmanship and innovation.
  • Natural soap production: using ingredients extracted from essential oils and local plants.

The program aims to enable trainees to produce high-quality craft products that meet international commercial standards, opening new economic horizons for them and strengthening the standing of handicrafts in local and international markets.

The Taif Rose Craftsmen House also contributes to preserving intangible cultural heritage by blending traditional crafts with contemporary designs, strengthening national identity and showcasing Saudi creativity in handicrafts.
