Ancient frankincense (luban) trees showcased during Salalah’s Frankincense Festival — textured trunks, resin-streaked bark and dappled light under arid skies. Visit during Khareef (June–September) for greener surroundings or at sunrise/sunset year-round for warm side-light and long shadows. Festival grounds are accessible from central Salalah (check event dates), with on-site parking; dress modestly and ask before photographing people.
