Røgelsesbrænder

Meerschaum (sepiolite) is used to make the dabqaad, with the district of El Buur serving as a center for quarrying. El Buur is also the place of origin of the local pipe-making industry. The ancient Egyptian pharaoh Hatshepsut was very fond of the incense when she went on her expedition to the ancient Land of Punt.^[1]
Somalis living in the West often obtain their dabqaads from the Horn of Africa, in person or through relatives.
