Sand Roads

The Sand Roads were crucial trade routes connecting West Africa, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, facilitating the exchange of goods including gold, salt, ivory, and kola nuts. Caravans, often comprising up to 5,000 camels, were essential for navigating the harsh Saharan Desert, making the transit of goods and people feasible.
