All fishing boats pulled up on land in anticipation of a Cyclone that was off shore. It later hit Yemen next door. They were very lucky.

Frankincense tree

Local guide and Frankincense Tree

Frankincense is a resin from trees belonging to the Boswell family. The trees have an outer bark that peel away like parchment flakes and a greenish bark which contains the trees sap and aromatic resin.

Frankincense is called the Pearls of the desert. It is collected by making an incesion in the tree and allowing the resin to flow and harden - collecting hardened resin that has flowed naturally from the tree.

Job's Tomb

Genealogy of the Prophets

The Tomb of Job is located in the hills overlooking the city of Salalah, Oman . The hill is known as Jabal a Qar.

There was a massive Cyclone off of Salalah due to approach the city and many of the Pakistani Expatriates were afraid and fled to the mountain of Jabal a Qar near Job's Tomb.

Another new friend for Jim. This time from Pakistan. This has been an incredible exciting and memorable journey through Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Emirates and Oman. I hope that you have enjoyed viewing the photos of an incredible journey through the Middle East. Onto another new journey traveling the world. Remember Friendship Moves the World. Jim Schroder
