Incense burner shop

This shop is on a square in the souk. The tower looking objects are for burning incense. We bought a decorated one at our hotel; I had asked the salesperson where it was made, and she said Saudi Arabia. When we got home I noticed it said in big letters, "Made in Pakistan." It's sad that not too much in the way of handcrafts are actually made here.
