The Camel (al-Jamal; الجمل) Virgin Olive Oil Palestinian Soap
For over 180 years, the Al-Shakaa Soap Factory has been at the heart of Nablus, handcrafting pure, olive-based soap using methods passed down through generations. This is more than just soap - it’s resilience, heritage, and a connection to centuries of tradition.
Each bar is adorned with the iconic camel imprint, a tribute to the caravans that once transported qilw soda ash across the region. Handmade with care, the process is as much an art as it is a science. Virgin olive oil, water, and sodium hydroxide are slowly cooked over a fire for nearly a week before being poured onto prepared sheets, cut into squares, and stacked into towering formations to dry for 40 days. The result? A soap that is simple, pure, and steeped in history.
The Al-Shakaa factory isn’t just a workshop; it’s a landmark of Palestinian history. During the 1936 Palestinian Revolution, its walls bore witness to gatherings that shaped a movement, reinforcing its place as a symbol of strength and unity.
By choosing Al-Shakaa Nabulsi Soap, you’re bringing home a piece of living history, a testament to craft, culture, and the enduring spirit of Nablus.
