The Land of Frankincense Tony Walsh

THE LAND OF FRANKINCENSE, IN DHOFAR OMAN.

A guide to the history, biology and historic locations of Frankincense in Dhofar. For thousands of years Frankincense resin was an economic engine from Arabia. Sourced from the coast of incense of southern Arabia the resin became the gift given to Gods, Kings and Jesus.

The books explains the Frankincense tree's biology, its history and the locations in Dhofar most associated with the tree and its trade. These include four UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The book is available with full-colour photographs and is ideal to use on your own tour. If used with the author's updated Bradt Guide to Oman, the two books will inform and guide the user through the little known Land of Frankincense.
