subject: Egyptian Cotton Towels [print this page] There are towels and then there are Egyptian towels. If you want the best quality towels then you want these. The towels that are most recognised around the world are from Egypt and I will explain why.
I think the name 'Egyptian towels' gives it away slightly. I don't think that you would put you name to a product if you didn't believe in it or its quality would you? Of course not. The Egyptians have done this and this must mean that they have a certain level of confidence in them.
So why are Egyptian towels so much better than the rest of the world? This is mainly down to the materials used. The towels are made from cotton and the cotton that they produce in Egypt is different from the rest of the world as it is a lot thinner.
Egypt is lucky to have access to that thin cotton. This thinness means that they can get more of it into a piece of a towel than you could from using other types of cotton. This will give it a higher quality feel.
It is this feel that no other country around the world can replicate. This gives them a huge competitive advantage which at the moment looks unbreakable. It is because of this that they are likely to be at the forefront of the industry for sometime.
What does that imply about the price then? Will it be higher? The answer is generally yes. Well actually, when you go through the logic it makes a lot of sense. The thinner thread in Egyptian towels means they use more of it as we have already said. As you are using more of the materials the cost of producing it also is higher.
There are many things that we should thank the Egyptians for. They had such a fantastic civilization and the pyramids are still around as a symbol of that. We also have Egyptian cotton towels so that we can dry ourselves in luxury.
