You know there was one funny thing. We were "forced" to visit some kind of factory that produces some sort of parfume...our guide chose to speak in italian with us so the guys from that factory didnt understand She said that stuff is extremly cheap and most iranians hate it. Its somehow made from roses and called Gholab or something like that. Sorry dont know how its written.

Kashan is well-known in production of Rosewater that is called “Golaab” (Gol means Flower, Aab means Water), according to Taqrib News Agency (TNA)
Kashan Golab has worldwide reputation and every year all the holy shrines in Mecca getting washed by Kashan Golab before “Hajj” ceremonies.
Based on Iranian myths, Rose was produced after Prophet Muhammad’s perspiration when it dropped from his face on soil and then rose became exist. So people call Rose in Iran as “Muhammadi Flower; Gole Mohammadi”
Just before the start of the pilgrimage season which will commence within a short time, Saudi Arabia washed Kabaa with Kashan Golab. The country has concluded the task of preparing a SR۲۰ million worth of traditional costume which would cover kaaba, the most holy place in Mecca, which is the holiest shrine for Muslims from all over the world.
The black colored silk covers the whole cube-shaped building of kaaba, as around two million Muslims from across the Gulf and other nations start reaching the holy place for their annual pilgrimage; Hajj.
The costume, ۸۵ meters in length is around ۴۷ meters breadth wise and ۱۴ meters high and has been prepared from pure silk and has a jellyfish embroidered on it, with writing which reads as, “O Living, O Self, O Merciful, O Most Merciful, Praise be to Allah.”
The whole dress is made up of five giant fabric pieces, each one of which covers a facet of the Kaaba. A piece even covers the entrance of the Kaaba and serves as a curtain. The kaaba is located in the centre of a mosque called the Masjid al-Haram.
