The Land of Frankincense (Arabic: أرض البخور, romanized: ʿArḍ al-Bakhūr) is a site in Oman on the Incense Road. The site includes frankincense trees, Khor Rori and the remains of a caravan oasis, which were crucial to the medieval incense trade.

The site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 as Frankincense Trail and was renamed in 2005 to Land of Frankincense.[citation needed]
