This bustling market is a feast for the senses with colorful clay incense burners adorned with traditional patterns, neatly stacked incense boxes, and bags of fragrant incense crystals. The scent of frankincense filling the air will be a lasting reminder of your unforgettable journey through Oman's rich heritage.
