An exquisite harvest from the mountains of Makkah.
High in the cool, mist-kissed mountains of Al-Shifa and Al-Hada, where the air carries the scent of thousands of blooming petals, grows one of Saudi Arabia’s most treasured gifts: the Ta’if Rose. Known across the Arab world as the “Rose of Makkah,” this flower has been celebrated for centuries for its perfume, beauty, and medicinal potency. From this legendary bloom comes one of the rarest honeys in the world — Ta’if Rose Honey, an extraordinary creation shaped by nature, tradition, and the skilled hands of Saudi beekeepers.
A Honey Defined by Its Land
Ta’if, often called the City of Roses, sits high in the mountains overlooking Makkah. Its altitude — nearly 2,500 meters above sea level — creates a uniquely cool climate that allows its world-famous roses to flourish. Every spring, the slopes of Ta’if turn shades of pink, red, and purple, as millions of roses open in spectacular bloom. These roses are not ordinary; their oil is used by luxury houses such as Givenchy and Jimmy Choo, and the fragrance is prized by royalty across the Middle East.
Before a single rose is harvested by local farmers, the bees of Ta’if begin their work — moving from petal to petal, collecting nectar directly from the rose blossoms themselves. This is what makes Ta’if Rose Honey completely unique.
Unlike floral honeys found on supermarket shelves—where rose flavour is infused after production—Ta’if Rose Honey is created naturally by the bees, who feed exclusively on the Ta’if rose. No oils, no extracts, no artificial scents. The flavour, aroma, and colour come purely from the rose nectar itself.

The Healing Power of the Ta’if Rose
Historically cherished across the Middle East, the Ta’if rose is believed to offer powerful therapeutic effects. When combined with raw honey, these effects become even more potent. Traditional and modern research attribute the following benefits to Ta’if Rose Honey:
-
Natural antidepressant properties
-
Antiviral, antibacterial, and antiseptic activity
-
Anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects
-
Supports fertility and hormone balance
-
Promotes muscle relaxation
-
Acts as a gentle aphrodisiac
It is one of the few honeys in the world prized for both its luxury flavour and well-known health properties.
A Blossoming Heritage
Saudi Arabia has a deep, proud history of honey production. Festivals in Riyadh, Jazan, Ta’if, and Tabuk celebrate the craft, attracting hundreds of beekeepers and visitors from across the Kingdom. The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture continually supports local apiculture, offering training and licensing programs to preserve this ancient craft.
Beekeepers across Saudi Arabia note the challenge of competing with cheap imported honey — but the demand for authentic, raw Saudi honey remains strong. Consumers increasingly seek purity, traceability, and genuine craftsmanship — all qualities that Ta’if Rose Honey embodies.
A Rare Luxury, A Sacred Origin
Every jar of Ta’if Rose Honey carries with it:
-
the purity of the mountains
-
the fragrance of Arabia’s most precious flower
-
the skill of generations of Saudi beekeepers
-
the natural blessing of one of the region’s rarest nectars
It is more than honey — it is heritage, aroma, culture, and healing, all captured in golden form.
For those seeking a honey that is truly different, deeply fragrant, and crafted with devotion, Ta’if Rose Honey is an experience like no other.
