Candles have come a long way since their use, and while trying to link such an invention to our culture we decided to dive into history to figure out a name for this brand. The name Fao was inspired by Qaryat Al-Faw (the city of paradise), located on the foothills of the Tuwaiq Mountains, a major trade center and the cross- roads of caravans, which carried minerals, grains and textiles to and from different parts of the region. It was bustling with houses, squares, streets and a marketplace. It had over 17 water wells and its people were practicing agriculture and trade.
