Frankincense has been traded from Oman in the southern Arabian Peninsula for more than 5000 years, and was one of the ancient world’s most precious commodities. Given to the infant Jesus, this sacred incense is inextricably entwined in Omani history, and the tour reflects its importance to this once powerful sea-faring nation whose dhows exported it as far as south-east Asia.

The finest frankincense in the world still comes from Oman and this journey takes the traveller to some of the most ancient and fascinating places in the Sultanate linked to the incense.

The tour, led by Juliet Highet, an internationally acclaimed expert on frankincense, will be a journey of discovery and delight, following in the footsteps of the ancient caravan routes and gaining an understanding of how and why, from its source in a scraggy little tree, frankincense became so expensive and famous!
