The Egyptians sent trading missions to Punt, a region of East Africa rich in gold, resins, ebony, blackwood, ivory, and wild animals, including monkeys and baboons. They also went in search of slaves. The best documented mission was sent during the reign of Hatshepsut. Scenes from these expeditions are depicted on her funerary temple at Deir el-Bahari near the Valley of the Kings.

The expedition set out in her name with five ships, each seventy feet (21 m) long, with several sails; each ship carried 210 men, including sailors and thirty rowers. Many goods were bought in Punt, especially myrrh, which was said to be Hatshepsut's favorite perfume. Most importantly, the Egyptians returned from the voyage with thirty-one live frankincense trees whose roots were carefully preserved in baskets for the duration of the voyage. This was the first recorded attempt to replant foreign trees. She reportedly had the trees planted in the courtyards of her mortuary temple at Deir el Bahari. She had the expedition commemorated in a relief at Deir el-Bahri, famous for its unflattering depiction of the Queen of Punt.
