Muscat – The event, organized by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, will run until December 6 and will take place at key locations in the Land of Frankincense, including Al Baleed Archaeological Park and Wadi Dokah Reserve.

This year’s program will feature a live demonstration on the production of frankincense products and extracts, as well as a range of scientific and cultural activities for children, under the theme ‘The Little Trader’.

Additionally, an exhibition will showcase perfumes and frankincense-based products from Omani companies, with a special live show depicting historical trade markets that were once connected to Oman’s frankincense exports. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of attractions, including a restaurant corner, a pleasure boat experience in Khor Al Baleed, and a children’s theater.
A highlight of this season’s activities includes the planting of 100 frankincense trees at the Wadi Dokah Reserve. On December 2, there will be a special celebration marking the inclusion of the Frankincense Land sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
