Nablus

City center

In the 10th century, Nablus used to be home to 40 olive oil soap factories. However, over the years due to natural disasters, political violence and economic isolation only two have remained. Before 2000, each factory used to produce about 600 tons of soap a year and now production is down by at least half.
