Workers process medicinal herbs in Fayoum, Egypt on July 25, 2017. Egypt has been home to a variety of herbs for thousands of years as ancient Egyptian relics, temples and tombs contained hundreds of medical prescriptions with medicinal herbs. So far, Egypt still produces the finest herbs, with Fayoum as the only producer of organic Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs). These crops are mainly grown in Upper Egypt's provinces of Minya, Beni Suef, Assiut and Fayoum. (Xinhua/Ahmed Gomaa)
