Culture of Somaliland - Dabqaad

Dabqaad

It is traditional for Somalis to perfume their homes after meals. Frankincense (Somali: Lubaan, Arabic: اللبان ) or a special man-made incense called unsi (referred to as bukhoor in many Arab countries) is placed on top of hot coal inside the dabqaad, which will burn continuously for about ten minutes until the lubaan or unsi is completely consumed. This will keep the house fragrant for hours. The pot is made from a white clay that is cultivated in Ceelbuur.
