$3,800 World’s Most Expensive Soap Unveiled In Qatar

The “most expensive soap in the world,” made of
pure gold dust, olive
oil and virgin honey and embedded with diamonds,
was unveiled by
Khan Al-Saboun Bader Hassoun and Sons at the
Qatar Pool and Spa
2013 at the Doha Exhibition Centre recently.
Weighing around 100gm and with a price tag of $
3,800, the soap
dubbed ‘Qatar Royal Soap’ with the word ‘Qatar’ in
Arabic inscribed
on it, is being dedicated to Qatar and its great
achievements in many
fields, especially in winning the bid to host the FIFA
2022 World Cup.
Khan Al-Saboun Bader Hassoun and Sons chairman
Dr Bader
Hassoun explained that the soap was specially
made for royalty aside
being beneficial for the skin due to its natural and
organic contents.
“Our company, based in Lebanon, has been known
for specialising in
natural and organic beauty products for years and
we have very
committed patrons due to this specialisation,” said
Dr Hassoun,
whose family has been in the soap making business
for over eight
centuries.
He said that the soap, though highly valued, has not
been produced
for commercial purposes, though it was earlier
reported that it will be
available for sale in Al-Saboun City Center – one of
the company’s
six branches in Qatar.
“We have made only this one piece in order to
showcase our
capabilities for inventions in soap making and just
to express our
respects for royalty. So, the soap will not be for
sale,” he maintained.
