Traders and merchants played key roles in the urban economy. Unlike China, where merchants were not respected, the Islamic world honored its trading class. A successful merchant had great social mobility or the ability to rise in society. Many merchants became important figures in the Islamic world. The center of life for merchants was the souk, or marketplace. Here, merchants bought and sold goods from around the empire.
