Incense is an integral part of our hospitality culture in Saudi Arabia, but achieving a pure and fragrant aroma depends primarily on the quality of the charcoal and how it is used. At Wadi Halfa, we believe every detail matters, so we offer this guide to help you master the art of incense burning.
How to choose the right charcoal from Wadi Halfa?
Choosing the right size charcoal depends on the occasion and duration of use. Here's a quick look at our options:
- Micro incense charcoal: Ideal for quick daily use or small spaces. It ignites quickly, making it the perfect choice if you want a quick burst of incense before guests arrive.

Simple steps for a perfect steaming experience
- Use the right tools: Always start by using tongs specifically designed for incense to hold the charcoal safely and avoid any burns.
- Rapid ignition: Use a powerful torch lighter to direct the flame directly onto the charcoal disc. You'll notice it ignites and forms a gray layer within seconds.
- Place it in the incense burner: After the disc is fully lit, carefully place it in the center of your preferred incense burner .
- Add a touch of fragrance: Wait a minute or two for the ash to form, then place a small piece of your favorite incense stick on top of the embers. Enjoy the aroma as it fills the room.
