African and Arab Traders met at Kumbi Saleh, the capital of Ghana to exchange goods. The other main items for trade from Ghana were slaves, leather goods and ivory. In return the traders of Ghana bought cloth, weapons and horses, as well as salt from the Arab Traders. After about 600 years, Ghana became part of a new Kingdom called Mali.
