The art of Frankincense Harvesting in Wadi Dawkah, the UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Wadi Dawkah Frankincense Plantation is home to nearly 5,000 Boswellia sacra trees—silent witnesses to the passage of time. The House of Amouage, as steward of the site, is committed to preserving this heritage and inspiring communities worldwide to appreciate this ancient practice and its precious resin. Frankincense harvesting is a time-honored tradition, passed down through generations. From making incisions in the bark and allowing the sap to flow, to letting it air-dry before collecting and sorting it by color and quality grade—it is a year-long process requiring deep expertise and environmental sensitivity. Our Omani team in Salalah has cultivated both over the years and we are proud to continue doing so for many years to come. #WadiDawkah #Oman #Salakah #Dhofar #Frankincense #BoswelliaSacra #Resin #Luban #Amouage #Perfume
