Jeddah Incense in Malls

Walking around the beautiful malls in Saudi Arabia can be very pleasing to the senses, as it is very common practice for businesses to burn incense to attract customers.  Incense is a big part of Arab culture. There are many shops that sell "oud," a very well known type of scented wood for burning.  Small elaborate burners are found in many shops, and there are even electric burners available too.

I find myself wondering if that would set off smoke detectors.
