The site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 as Frankincense Trail and was renamed in 2005 to Land of Frankincense.[1] Although Somalia is home to the largest frankincense forests, Oman has capitalized on the challenges faced by the African nation, positioning itself as the primary source of frankincense.[2]
