Oman's Frankincense Trade Routes and the Land of Punt

In this episode of The Story of Oman, Lucas and Luna explore the ancient frankincense trade that made Oman a crossroads of the ancient world. They dive into the Boswellia sacra trees of Dhofar, the port of Sumhuram at Khor Rori, and the legendary Land of Punt that sent expeditions to Queen Hatshepsut's Egypt. The conversation follows the aromatic resin from the Wadi Dawkah valley to the markets of the Mediterranean, India, and China, revealing how frankincense shaped economies, religions, and empires for millennia. Along the way, they touch on the frankincense road, the lost city of Ubar, and the role of the Hadramawt kingdom in controlling this precious trade.
