The Sultanate of Oman has one of the oldest civilizations in the Arabian Peninsular having notable
Periods of greatness in the Ancient world and in medieval times. The Dhofar region, in Southern Oman,
Is centered on the town of Salalah and is where the Frankincense story began.
Dhofar is a great and noble and fine city. Much white incense is produced here and I will tell you how it grows
Marco Polo,1285
The focal point of Dhofar's history was the frankincense trade, which flourished for centuries.
Frankincense trees(which grow in Dhofar and parts of Africa) originated in the Dhofar valley all those many years ago and were of great economic importance to such figures as the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon.
The Queen of Sheba reigned over the Hadramut Kingdom, which included Dhofar. Recent evidence also shows that
Frankincense was exported to China during the Ming Dynasty!
Today practically all of the commercially available frankincense comes from Somalia as the Omani trade has
All but faded into history. Omani frankincense still exists but only in the local souq(market) where it
Is available to locals and tourists. The Omani Government exports only limited amounts.
