=**Essential Questions:**= -Explaining: why did the communities of the Arabian Peninsula prosper?

=

 * The communities of the Arabian Peninsula prospered mainly because of trade. In the olden days wherever there was trade there was wealth. Many communities were built along the trading routes, these communities prospered because of the constant flow of goods and traders. The camel was another main variable that added to the successful Arabian peninsula. The camel allowed a faster way to transport highly expensive goods. The camel also helped expand the caravan trading. ( Lindsay Orwat 4th hour)**======
