Saharan Routes

Saharan Routes refer to the various trade and travel paths across the Sahara Desert, historically connecting North Africa to sub-Saharan regions. These routes facilitated the movement of goods, such as gold, salt, and textiles, and were crucial for trade between cultures. Caravan merchants, often using camels, navigated these harsh landscapes, fostering economic and cultural exchanges. Today, while many modern roads exist, the historical significance of these routes remains evident in the legacy of trade networks and the influence of different civilizations in the region.
