The most important specialty of Sultanate of Oman is frankincense.

1. 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. 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. This aromatic resin was in great demand in ancient times and was widely used in religious sacrifices, funeral ceremonies and people's daily celebrations. The ancients believed that the smoke of frankincense would bring their prayers to heaven, so no matter what religious ceremony was held, incense was essential.

Frankincense also has many practical functions, which can be used for treating diseases and beautifying. Frankincense has detoxification function, which can help digestion and relieve pain.

In addition to frankincense, date palms are also a specialty of Oman.
