We were unable to find the main souk in Salalah, but we did come across one near the sultan’s palace that was interesting to visit but not the easiest place to photograph. I did manage to get a few, so will be uploading all of them today.

The covered part of the souk, selling what else but incense (although there were of course other things on offer). I wasn’t kidding when I said it was incredibly popular in the Gulf! Those are bags of frankincense on the right.

There had been a woman tending this shop who was wearing a stunning bright green headscarf (but in the Saudi style, covering her face), but I simply wasn't able to photograph her without attracting her attention, which just wouldn't have been good in the souk.

Another view of incense and burners at the souk posted earlier today:
