Oman's Frankincense
Frankincense is the essence of Oman and a symbol of life for its people.
It is burned as incense in offices, added to perfume oils and used for medicinal purposes to ease aches and pains.
It is deeply woven into the traditional culture of the Sultanate and is popularly called Dhofar’s Divine Sap.
Frankincense is mainly grown in Salalah in the Governorate of Dhofar and it can be found in souqs all over the Sultanate.
For thousands of years Oman has been trading frankincense with many nations such as Iraq, Palestine, Rome and Egypt.
Rome used it in religious rituals while Egypt embalmed the bodies of their pharaohs with it.
Today Omanis use it to cool water in the summertime
The Sultanate produces 6,000 tonnes of frankincense per year

MUSEUM OF FRANKINCENSE LAND | PART 2 | HAFFA MARKET | SALALAH, OMAN | Collab ft. SARABHJIT
Museum of frankincense is located within the premises of Al Baleed Archaeological park, Salalah. The museum has three sections, multimedia, history and maritime section.
The history section has artefacts from China and other trade countries. You will find various collections from the stone age, iron age and copper age.
In the maritime section, you will find models of boats that were used in ancient time. The museum is well kept and offers an insight into the history of Oman.
We also went to haffa market to check various types of frankincense products that are available.
Hope this video proves to be useful to those looking for information about this museum.

Land of Frankincense
The frankincense trees of Wadi Dawkah and the remains of the caravan oasis of Shisr/Wubar and the affiliated ports of Khor Rori and Al-Baleed vividly illustrate the trade in frankincense that flourished in this region for many centuries, as one of the most important trading activities of the ancient and medieval world.
See and Touch Wild Frankincense Trees (Salalah, Oman)
** For the best experience, view this video (and others like it) on or and create your own Oman adventure**
In the hills behind Mughsayl lies a grove of wild frankincense trees. The sap from these trees is still harvested today, and the fragrant crystals are sold in the marketplaces of Salalah. Curiously, efforts to cultivate these Boswellia Sacra trees have failed, and so wild trees remain the primary source of frankincense in Oman.

Let's Follow the FRANKINCENSE Trail
Frankincense is an aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes, obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia.
There are four main species of Boswellia that produce true frankincense. Resin from each of the four is available in various grades. The grades depend on the time of harvesting; the resin is hand-sorted for quality.

[한국어 정보]
여름 한낮의 기온이 40도가 넘는 뜨거운 오만은 비교적 시원한 아침과 저녁에 주로 일을 한다. 보통 아침 8시에 시작해서 1시까지 일을 하고 뜨거운 낮에는 잠시 쉬었다가 오후 5시쯤 다시 일을 시작한다. 밤이 되자 활기를 띄는 시장 그중에서도 유난히 많이 보이는 건 향수 가게다. 살랄라 시장에는 향수 골목이 따로 형성되어 있다. 그런데 여기서 파는 향수는 우리의 생각과는 좀 다른 모습이다. 작은 조약돌 같이 생긴 이것. 오만 사람들이 가장 좋아하는 냄새인 유향이다. 성경에 나오는 동방박사 세 사람이 아기 예수에게 선물로 주었다는 유향. “유향은 아랍어로는 ‘루반’이라고 해요. 향을 피우면 집 안에 있는 귀신을 쫓아주는 역할을 하지요. 오만에서 나는 유향이 품질이 가장 좋아요.” 지금도 귀한 손님이 오기 전이면 향을 먼저 피워 놓는다는 오만 사람들. “오만 사람들은 그냥 자연스럽게 향을 좋아하는 것 같아요. 아침마다 습관적으로 향을 피우죠.” 향나무 냄새와 비슷하면서도 달콤한 향이 코끝을 맴돈다.

Joe habitually smoked incense every morning. Juniper smell and sweet flavor, yet similar maemdonda the nose.
