Question

Why did trade flourish across the Muslim empire

Answer 1

Low prices of products that were on sale at the time earned more revenues for merchants and led to improvement in imports as well as increase the influence of traders to an international level helped in increasing trade in the Muslim Empire.  The establishment of trade routes along the southern Mediterranean coast connecting countries like Spain and Morocco to Egypt and Syria also helped in expanding trade for the Empire.  Other factors were the development of sea trade and the use of donkeys and camels  for travel through complex routes devised by merchants and traders.
