As the Monsoon Season draws to a close in Salalah it will soon be time to start the Frankincense Harvest.

A crew for the BBC filmed in Oman a piece about the Frankincense Trail in June last year. From Oman they went to The Hadramout and beyond, mixing fable, modernity and a bit of history as seen through Kate Humble’s eyes.

Apart from the fact that Frankincense is a living legend – the thing I really like about the tree is the culture that surrounds it.

The smoke from the small pebble size pieces is used in Oman as a welcome to guests and the fragrance will scent clothes for a long time .
