Oman specialty introduction:

Frankincense is a specialty of Oman. Many countries in the world produce frankincense, but it is recognized that the best frankincense is produced in Zofar province in southern Oman, with pure taste and positive color, with an annual output of 7000 tons. Frankincense is a strange resin secreted by trees. Frankincense trees are all natural and wild.

Oddly enough, the more arid and barren the natural conditions, the more suitable for the growth of frankincense trees. Negede plateau in southern Oman just meets the unique requirements of this tree: rough limestone soil, hot weather and early morning dew. Frankincense has many aliases, such as "the Pearl of the Desert", "Tears of God", "Platinum" and so on. In ancient times, the value of frankincense was once equal to gold, and it has always been one of the symbols of the ruler's power and wealth.
