Going to Salalah in the morning. What I expect after reading about it. It’s the capital of the South of Oman provincial region of Dhofar. There are about 200,000 residents living in this beautiful city of vast green tropical vegetation, desert sands, and beautiful large canyons. As if that could not get any better, the beach is there as well and a world class port in Salalah gets shipments from around the world.
The Sultan Qaboos bin Said was actually born in Salalah! It is the second largest city in Oman. Muscat is the largest, the one I live in.
Salalah was important in history because of the Frankincense found in the trees. I read somewhere that Frankincense actually used to be more valuable than...gold. The Boswellia family own these trees and they have medicinal power.
