Description

The tour begins with a visit to The Museum of the Frankincense Land. Opened in July 2007 at Al Baleed Archaeological Park, a UNESCO heritage site located in Salalah, this Museum is the latest addition to Oman’s heritage and cultural scene. It contains two main galleries : the Historical one ,which explains the geography,the history of the ancient Frankincense trail and the historical background of the Sultanate through a number of archaeological findings, and The Maritime one, which shows to the visitor the development of Oman's rich marine history. A complete history of the Maritime trade and ship building industry with meticulously carved replicas of the ancient Omani boats and ships. 
Then we drive through the lush and abundant green plantations of vegetables and fruits with a brief stop to taste a fresh coconut juice from one of the fruit stalls lining the same street which leads to the Old Salalah town and its periphery (Al Haffah). A Photo stop at the impressive Sultan Qaboos Mosque
Before we visit the Official Palace of His Majesty the Sultan called Al Husn Palace and stroll, then, through the old Haffah souk, famous for the sale of high quality Frankincense and numerous other Dhofari traditional souvenirs. The smell of frankincense fills the souk. Haffah souk is very attractive with its small shops lined up with straight piles of incense boxes, clay incense burners colorfully decorated with traditional patterns and bags of incense crystals. You will have an ample opportunity for shopping, before we return to the hotel.
