Frankincense was at some point even more valueable than gold, and Oman was one of the biggest and finest producers (still is) The best frankincense is available from the Southern regions of Dhofar, but nowadays most shops offer bags of them (if you can go to Dhofar better buy from there..the better quality is always whiter) 1- Frankincense bag 2- a Majmar (incense burner) 3- some 'bukhoor' (perfumed poweder) if you want a bit of perfume smell You can arrange your own charcoal back home. A nice gift to take back home is a bag of frankincense (less than $20) and a nice silver incense burner ($100 top) RO3-RO15 depending on quantity and quality some better blends are more expensive
