| The valley of Taif in Western Saudi Arabia near Jeddah is famous the world over for its rose attar and water. |
| Rose attar is the costliest since a hundred kilograms of roses yield only two grams of attar. |
| The famous crop of the dry and dusty Tundzha Valley makes Bulgaria the world's largest exporter of attar of roses. |
| Kazanlik, by the way, is the rose grown in fields all over Bulgaria to produce the famous attar of roses so important to the perfume industry. |
| They are used successfully for planting grapes, tobacco, attar plants and drought-resistant fruiters. |
| More than 90 per cent of the rose attar produced in Bulgaria is exported to the US, France and Switzerland. |
