		The Dhofar region, in Southern Oman, is centered around the town of Salalah, and is where the frankincense story began...
		Frankincense trees (which grow in Dhofar and parts of Africa) originated in the Dhofar valley all those many years ago and were of great economic importance to such figures as the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon.
		Once collected at Dhofar, in the old days the frankincense had to be either carried overland by long and incredibly arduous journeys, or the initial part of the export procedure could be undertaken by sea.

	Oman (and Dhofar) 1952-1979
		In 1965, the Dhofar Liberation Front (DLF) was formed in the southernmost province of Oman, in opposition to the rule of Sultan bin Taimur.
		Dhofar had a population of only some 40.000 at the time (out of a total of 750.000 Omanis), and the revolutionary movement received considerable support from the locals aggrieved by their poor living conditions: the country was at the time still living in the 14th Century.
		Despite increasing problems, and the fact that by the time the PFLOAG was in control of all of the Dhofar Province, the Sultan of Oman was still hesitant to increase the defence spending, although the problems as well as income from oil exports were growing.
