Frankincense is only found in northern Somalia, Yemen and Oman. The production and trade of frankincense and myrrh have a long history in the Horn region, and some of you may be familiar with Queen Hatshepsut's voyage to the "Land of Punt" for these prized aromatic resins. Found in all Somali regions including NFD, many species of Boswelia found in dry areas not just northern Somali, Oman and Yemen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
