The Sahara Trade refers to the exchange of goods and resources across the Sahara Desert, one of the largest deserts in the world. This trade route connected various regions, including North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, facilitating the movement of valuable commodities such as gold, salt, and ivory. Caravans, often led by Berber and Tuareg traders, traversed the harsh desert landscape, using camels for transportation. The trade not only boosted local economies but also fostered cultural exchanges between different peoples and regions, shaping the history and development of the areas involved.
