What to expect

Nestled within the heart of Salalah, the Frankincense Land Museum, a recent addition to Oman's cultural tapestry, invites you on a journey through time. Opened in 2007 at Al Balid Archaeological Park, a UNESCO heritage site, this museum is a treasure trove of history and marine life.

Begin your adventure with a visit to the History Hall, where the story of the ancient Frankincense trail and the Sultanate's historical background are beautifully depicted through archaeological findings. Next, explore the Marine Hall, showcasing Oman's maritime legacy. Then, embark on a scenic drive through verdant plantations of fruits and vegetables. Pause for a moment to savor fresh coconut water from fruit stalls dotting the streets of old Salalah town, Haffah.

Make sure to capture memories at the majestic Sultan Qaboos Mosque and the official palace of His Majesty the Sultan, Al Husn Palace. Finally, step into the aromatic world of the Haffah souk, renowned for its high-quality Dhofari traditional souvenirs. 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.
