| Fabulous spices |
| |
| |
Rahhala |
Spices have changed the world. In fact, the
discovery of the world is intimately linked to the history of spices. Magellan,
Vasco de Gama, Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo before them, have all
traveled the world to take ownership of the roads of the spice trade. This product,
which was worth its weight in gold, has caused wars, conflicts, but was also
the occasion of human encounters and discoveries of delicious cuisines of the

| The Henna |
| |
| |
Rahhala |
Henna is well known to the visitors of the Arab world. In fact, it is
known throughout the world and always used as a cosmetic; its use in these
lands is specifically rooted in us and customs. It is a plant that holds a
special place in everyday life and culture of Muslims in particular. Here is a
tree of paradise.
Henna is much more than drawings on the skin or a moment of encounter
and welfare, inescapable. It is a way to express a culture. It is used in
different rites governing traditions. To distinguish themselves in society, to
prepare girls to marry, for births, for mourning, too. Where, for each drawing,
is a symbol of deep belief. |

the road and hello damage. |
