Oman, a land of fascination on the Arabian Peninsula, is renowned for its unique frankincense. This ancient resin, once called “liquid gold,” has been a prized natural treasure for centuries. Omani frankincense not only holds a prominent place locally but also found its way to the world through the ancient Silk Road. In 2000, the Land of Frankincense in Oman was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Join us to visit the Salalah Frankincense Museum in Oman to uncover the secrets of one of the most famous trade goods along the ancient Silk Road. We explore its harvesting process, diverse uses, and trade history, tracing the historical footprints of the Silk Road.
