#Beirut, #Lebanon
Retouching work is carried out on a Christmas tree made from two tonnes of soap, in Roumieh, north-east of the Lebanese capital. Carved by one of Lebanon’s most renowned soap makers, it is thought to be the first of its kind in the world. After Christmas, the tree will be dismantled and the soap donated to Christian and Muslim orphanages.
